One of the most poignant feminist writings of the twentieth century, this extended essay explores the limits women face as writers in a male-dominated society.

Virginia Woolf draws on female writers of the past, including Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters, while also considering fictional characters and lesser-known women in literary history. Noting women's struggles, including their lack of intellectual freedom and financial independence, Woolf discusses the necessity for equal rights in the workplace and beyond. She states that in order for women to succeed creatively, they must have both a literal and figural space in the workplace.
