A room of one’s own by Virginia Woolf

To be honest I don’t like this essay. I think it is boring, maybe because it’s about gender issues and I believe that it is not a controversial topic nowadays.

However in this post I’ll focus on the need to have a space to write.

When she wrote about the need of having a room of one’s own she was referring to have physical and mental space to have inspiration to write.

Probably Charlotte Brontë didn’t have a physical space to write but she had a mental space where she was free to do whatever she wanted. She created that place and for that reason she could write Jane Eyre and other novels.

To have a room of one’s own is important not only for women, but men also need a space to be free. Women and men are human beings so, they have the same rights and duties. Gender equality is important to develop a better world. If Shakespeare was one of the greatest writers, women can be the greatest and most important writers too.
