To commemorate International Women’s Day on March 8, we are reprinting an article first published here on March 1, 2021, featuring a landmark work by Virginia Woolf (1882-1941).
Woolf’s extended essay, A Room of One’s Own, published in 1929 and based on lectures she had given at colleges associated with the University of Cambridge, is a well-known and important feminist text. One of its themes is the argument that women writers need a literal and figurative space of their own to thrive.
Woolf was among the first of the modernist authors to use the stream-of-consciousness technique. Her most well-known works include To the Lighthouse, Orlando and Mrs. Dalloway. The first two of these books, along with a number of other works by Woolf, are available here at Faded Page.
