Publisher's Summary
A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given at Girton College Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics. Woolf's blazing polemic on female creativity, the role of the writer, and the silent fate of Shakespeare's imaginary sister remains a powerful reminder of a woman's need for financial independence and intellectual freedom.

"Inspiration for all women writers and academics"
Would you listen to A Room of One's Own again? Why?Yes, I will listen again whenever I need inspiration and instruction to move beyond the patriarchy of academia.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?'a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write'

"A classic every woman should read"
Would you listen to A Room of One's Own again? Why?I'd knew Virginia Woolf mainly by reputation and knew I should read her. I was right. She has a message for today's women and despite the time that has passed, it is still relevant. This was a perfect book for listening. The narrator was clear and the book was informative. Listening to it was the perfect way to approach Woolf.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Room of One's Own?My most memorable phrase is that women need support in order to achieve and that only comes with the ability to earn a living.
