A Room of One's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf, first published on 24 October 1929
The title of the essay comes from Woolf's conception that, "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction".
Woolf notes that women have been kept from writing because of their relative poverty, and financial freedom will bring women the freedom to write; "In the first place, to have a room of her own... was out of the question, unless her parents were exceptionally rich or very noble".
The title also refers to any author's need for poetic license and the personal liberty to create art.
The essay examines whether women were capable of producing, and in fact free to produce work of the quality of William Shakespeare, addressing the limitations that past and present women writers face.
