Inhaltsangabe

A literary cornerstone of feminist thought, A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf is both a fierce argument and a poetic meditation on creativity, gender, and independence. With wit, clarity, and philosophical depth, Woolf imagines the plight of "Judith Shakespeare," a fictional sister to the Bard, and examines the cultural, economic, and institutional barriers that stifled female genius for centuries. More than a call for a literal room and financial independence, this groundbreaking work invites readers to reimagine the conditions necessary for any individual--especially women--to fully express their intellectual and artistic potential.

A timeless call for space, voice, and freedom.

• Explore the foundational text of modern feminist literature.
• Delve into Woolf's eloquent argument for intellectual freedom and financial independence.
• A must-read for writers, thinkers, and anyone questioning the role of gender in creativity.
• Inspires readers to reflect on the cultural forces shaping women's lives and voices.
• Ideal for students, academics, and general readers alike seeking literary and philosophical insight.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Born as Adeline Virginia Stephen in Kensington, London, in 1882, Virginia Woolf was the daughter of the eminent critic and founding editor of the Dictionary of National Biography Leslie Stephen and Julia Prinsep Duckworth Stephen. Raised by her parents in their literate and well-connected household, she was influenced by the Victorian literary society and the prominent British intellectuals of her time including Henry James, George Henry Lewes, and James Russell Lowell. Virginia began writing in her teens. Her reviews were published anonymously in the Times Literary Supplement and other journals. The Voyage Out, originally titled Melymbrosia, was her first novel published in 1915 by Duckworth. She developed her art and went on to publish a number of novels including Night and Day (1919), Jacob's Room (1922), Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), Orlando (1928), The Waves (1931), and The Years (1937). A Room of One's Own (1929) and Three Guineas (1938) are among her famous non-fiction books. She drowned herself on March 28, 1941, by walking into the River Ouse with her overcoat pockets filled with stones. Her body was found on April 18, 1941. Virginia Woolf's works have been translated into more than fifty languages. She continues to remain one of the significant writers of the twentieth century.
