Document Summary
Virginia woolf ne virginia stephen was born in 1882 and was plagued by a series of misfortunes in life including the early death of her mother and brother and depression which led her to commit suicide in 1941. Her novels including to the lighthouse (1927) and mrs. dalloway (1925) are primarily concerned with lives of women. A room of one"s own (1929), considered by some scholars, as the most important work of feminist literary criticism, explores the difficulties women face in terms of making any literary accomplishment. https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=2hnlsh8wype https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=lrotivqlkhg. Woolf builds upon the premise that a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction in a room of one"s own. She expresses her affiliation with all aspiring female writing when she says: call me mary beton, mary. Seton, mary carmichael or by any name you please it is not a matter of any importance .
