About This Novel
"You must have money and a room of your own" - Woolf's immortal declaration to inspire women's spiritual awakening. In October 1928, Woolf gave two lectures on "Women and Fiction" at two women's colleges of Cambridge University. The next year, she integrated the speech into the article "Women and Novel" and published it. Later, she significantly revised and expanded it, and finally wrote the masterpiece "A Room of One's Own". This long article is delicate and funny, full of imagination, and sparkling with wisdom everywhere. It tells about the plight of women's survival in a male-dominated society, the historical prejudice against women, the impact of women's poverty on creation, and other issues. It encourages women to strive for independent economic status, actively achieve themselves, and develop their lives. This book contains another famous prose piece by Woolf, "Mr Bennett and Mrs Brown".
