Woolf's "A Room of One's Own" was originally based on two lectures. On October 20 and 26, 1928, Woolf came to the University of Cambridge twice from London, delivering lectures on the topic of women and novels at Newnham Women's College and Gorting Women's College respectively. Afterwards, in March 1929, she combined the two speeches into one article, entitled "Women and Novel", and published it in the American magazine "Forum". At this time, her novel "Orlando" was published and she built a small building for herself. Here, she greatly revised and expanded "Women and Novel" and wrote the book "A Room of One's Own".
Reader comments
This book is very good! Woolf's writing is delicate and insightful. I was deeply inspired by her exploration of the difficulties and constraints faced by women in society through her own personal experience. Moreover, her emphasis on female independence and self-realization also made me more determined to pursue my dreams. I think this book is not only suitable for women to read, but also worth pondering for everyone. The author is really great, her views are unique and admirable!
