Rooms: Women, Writing, Woolf


Add your own review!

Overview

A reconsideration of Virginia Woolf's groundbreaking A Room of One's Own through a very modern lens, revisiting Woolf's now archaic politics and mining the text for lessons on how to be a writer. The central message of A Room of One's Own is that, to write, women must have money and a room of their own. The context of this has changed, so Queyras is asking what the contemporary version of that room is.
