Classic Feminist Literature | A Room Of One's Own (Virginia Woolf) BOOK REVIEW

Mere Mortals Book Reviews

Righteous anger can be useful .... if applied to the right people.

'A Room Of One's Own' by Virginia Woolf is an essay critiquing woman's literature and female authors. Her core argument is that the lack of financial means, privacy and strict social norms has resulted in the inability for females to write great books. And that it is not due inherent feminine weakness or lack of genius. She also emphasises that women need to write in their own voice and spends a fair bit of time criticising authors like Charlotte Brontë and Mary Carmichael who don't do this adequately (in her opinion).

Would love to hear your feedback and appreciate any support you wish to give :)
