A room of one's own by Virginia Woolf
- A room of one’s own by Virginia Woolf is one of the most complete literary works written. It reflects how women have been and are located in western society. In fact, although nowadays women have more intellectual and worked freedom than fifty years ago, there are still inequalities in the way we are treated by society.
- Women and fiction is a theme that represents dreams and reality of a gender that has suffered the rejection and humiliation from its male companions.
- The essay is compound by three main themes: money, the subjectivity of the truth and gender inequality. Through these topics Virginia Woolf develops an interesting essay that called women to wake up and try to write so that history will contain not only a male point of view, but also female’s.
- As history has written by men its objectivity is more than questionable, therefore literature is a reasonable source to find more about women. However, only a few female authors can be mentioned. So, where is the history of women?
