A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf is a seminal feminist essay exploring the challenges faced by women writers throughout history. Woolf argues that women need economic independence and a private space (a "room of one's own") to develop their creative potential. She contrasts the fictional lives of Shakespeare's sister and his brother, illustrating the limitations imposed on women's artistic pursuits due to societal and economic constraints. The essay delves into themes of gender, class, and the nature of creativity, ultimately advocating for a more equitable literary landscape.
