Woolf/A Room of One's Own

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 5 page essay that analyzes Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own. Woolf pictures women and men as being both "locked out" and "locked in" by the boundaries of these roles. In exploring the ramifications of this perspective, Woolf shows how writing is not simply an effect of innate talent, but it also related to social conditions, which prescribe educational and financial opportunities. This substantiates Woolf's overall thesis which is that, to write, what is required is "money and a room of one's own" (Woolf chapter 6). No additional sources cited.
