A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf – $6Wh

A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf – $6Why are women so often missing from the pages of history? In this timeless essay, Virginia Woolf imagines what life might have been like for Shakespeare’s equally gifted (but fictional) sister and explores the systemic barriers that have held women back from creative and intellectual pursuits for centuries.Originally delivered as a lecture to Cambridge students in 1928, Woolf’s work is both sharp and hopeful, declaring that “a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.” With wit, subtlety, and optimism, this classic is a cornerstone of feminist thought and a celebration of the power of a liberated mind.Take it home today at Preloved Book Shop: https://prelovedbookshop.com.au/book/a-room-of-ones-own/#VirginiaWoolf #ARoomOfOnesOwn #Feminism #Classics #Writing #PhilosophyBooks #PrelovedBooks #SecondhandBooks
