A room of one's own: the feminist classic

A Room of One's Own, is one of Virginia Woolf's most influential works and is widely recognized for its extraordinary contribution to the women's movement.

Based on a lecture given at Girton College, Cambridge, it is one of the great feminist polemics, ranging in its themes from Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë to the silent fate of Shakespeare's gifted (imaginary) sister and the effects of poverty and sexual constraint on female creativity.

This collectible, hard-back edition of A Room of One's Own includes an insightful introduction by series editor and self-help expert Tom Butler-Bowdon. Tom is an authority on classic self-help texts and adroitly connects the content of this book with the concerns of modern readers.
