A room of one's own | WorldCat.org
Presented originally as two speeches to the Arts Society at Newham in 1928, this work is remarkable for its distinctive tone, for Woolf´s witty and deceptively casual style, and for her decision to largely eschew abstract arguments in favor of narrative, anecdote and the guidance of a strong, abiding first person narrator. She also, refreshingly, avoids doctrine and bombast, instead infusing her arguments with subtlety, curiosity and open-minded speculation. In addressing the question of women and fiction, the author explores the lack of equal opportunity for women by describing a tour of Oxbridge, a mythical English university, and the obstacles to education a woman encounters there, concluding that "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction"
