About this ebook
Virginia Woolf’s beloved classic, with a new foreword
A Room of One’s Own is an American classic that has been inspiring readers since its initial publication in 1929. Based on two lectures that Woolf delivered at the University of Cambridge, this collection of extended essays highlights the importance of education and independence for aspiring writers. Woolf calls for the inclusion of more female voices in the literary canon, and outlines the steps needed for more women to gain access to writing careers.
Still relevant to this day, readers of all kinds will take inspiration from Woolf’s commitment to creating inclusion in the creative space, and her dedication to creating art despite those who would deny her.
With a new foreword by a modern author, readers will gain insight into the ways that Virginia Woolfe’s teachings still influence modern creatives.
