Virginia Woolf: "Hoe kan ik u nu verder aanmoedigen u aan het leven te wagen? Jonge vrouwen...u bent naar mijn mening schandelijk onwetend, u heeft nooit enige ontdekking van belang gedaan. U hebt nooit een rijk op zijn grondvesten doen schudden of een leger ten strijde gevoerd. De toneelstukken van Shakespeare zijn niet door u geschreven....wat is uw verontschuldiging?" In "Een kamer voor jezelf" speelt Virginia Woolf met de gedachte dat William Shakespear een zuster heeft gehad, Judith, die even begaafd was als hij, maar zich nooit heeft kunnen ontplooien. Nu geloof ik dat deze dichteres, die nooit een woord heeft geschreven, en begraven ligt aan een zijweg, nog altijd leeft, besluit Virginia Woolf.

Work Description

A Room of One's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf. First published on 24 October 1929, the essay was based on a series of lectures she delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at Cambridge University in October 1928. While this extended essay in fact employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers of and characters in fiction, the manuscript for the delivery of the series of lectures, titled "Women and Fiction", and hence the essay, are considered non-fiction. The essay is generally seen as a feminist text, and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figural space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by patriarchy.
