My first dive into the world that is Virginia Woolf's writing and it was well worth the read. This book is not especially large (114 pages) but has so much content that it could have easily been spread out to over 200 pages.

The title is in reference to what Woolf means figuratively and literally speaking. A room of one's own represents freedom for women. She mentions that women are quite often never in a room of their own to write which can be taken 2 separate ways. Women, in this time period, weren't given many freedoms and were looked at as "inferior" by men. She references several very influential writers and professors who talk poorly about women intellectually.

I think the best reference in the book is when she refers to poetry being born. It must be born by more than one. It does not arrive on its own.

This book was such an eye opener. Things have changed since the 1920's, although there are still some things in which we see women are fighting to gain equality and rightfully so. Being a male reading this book, answers the question about having a room of one's own and the importance of making a difference.
