A Le Monde 100 Books of the Century book
Women have burnt like beacons in all the works of all the poets from the beginning of time. … [Woman] pervades poetry from cover to cover; she is all but absent from history. She dominates the lives of kings and conquerors in fiction; in fact she was the slave of any boy whose parents forced a ring upon her finger. Some of the most inspired words and profound thoughts in literature fall from her lips; in real life she could hardly read; scarcely spell; and was the property of her husband.
A Room of One's Own is an extended essay, originally delivered in 1928 as two lectures at two of Cambridge University's women's colleges—Newnham College and Girton College. Through the use of several metaphors, lauded author Virginia Woolf explores the social injustices and structures that prevent women from engaging in free expression and contributing to literature.
A Room of One's Own was published as a book in 1929, and would go on to become a seminal work of feminist criticism. Considered one of the great modernist writers of the 20th century, Virginia Woolf has been named as an influence for writers including Margaret Atwood, Toni Morrison, and Gabriel García Márquez.

Woolf's novel defies traditional narrative conventions, blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction, and delving into the fluid nature of gender and identity, offering a profound exploration of the construction of self and the constraints imposed by societal expectations.
The narrative traverses different historical periods and geographical locations, providing a sweeping panorama of human history and cultural transformation, while also raising questions about the mutable nature of time and the enduring power of art.
Hätte Shakespeare eine Schwester gehabt, ebenso begabt wie er, wie wäre es ihr ergangen? Welche Widerstände mussten Jane Austen oder die Brontë-Schwestern überwinden? Im Oktober 1928 hielt Virginia Woolf zwei Vorträge am ersten Frauencollege Großbritanniens an der Universität Cambridge. Ob ihnen bewusst sei, fragte Woolf ihre Zuhörerinnen, dass sie vielleicht »das am häufigsten abgehandelte Tier des Universums« seien? Schließlich wurde Literatur über Frauen fast ausschließlich von Männern verfasst. Aus Woolfs Vorträgen entstand der Essay Ein Zimmer für sich allein, den sie ein Jahr später veröffentlichte. Bereits zu Woolfs Lebzeiten gepriesen, wurde ihre Abhandlung über Frauen und Literatur zu einem der wegweisenden Texte der Frauenbewegung. Engagiert, poetisch, erfahrungssatt und ironisch analysiert Woolf Geschlechterdifferenzen und führt aus, was Frauen brauchen, um große Literatur zu produzieren: finanzielle, vor allem aber geistige Unabhängigkeit, im viktorianischen England symbolisiert durch ein eigenes Zimmer.

Kurz & bündig - unsere Shorts: Als der geizige Bruder beschloss, der Witwe seinen Papageien zu vererben, war ihm bestimmt nicht klar, was der zerrupfte Vogel im Leben der Frau bewirken wird. Virginia Woolf hat gewusst: Ein ordentlicher Umgang mit Tieren kann das Leben sehr unverhofft auf den Kopf stellen.

Una casa encantada se centra en la historia de dos parejas que comparten la misma casa, con la peculiaridad de que una de ellas es un matrimonio de espectros. El relato es muy breve, pero es suficiente para que Virginia Woolf comience a experimentar en sus teorías narrativas.

Adeline Virginia Woolf (January 25, 1882 - March 28, 1941) was a feminist, pacifist, anti-fascist and English writer born in South Kensington, London. She is considered one of the most important modernist 20th-century authors, literary critics, and pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. This is the only surviving recording of Virginia Woolf, a talk called, "Craftsmanship."
