“A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction . . .” First published in 1929, A Room of One’s Own is Virginia Woolf’s pioneering work on women in literature. An accessible yet fiercely astute polemic, it is a crystallization of the intelligent analysis behind her novels, and confirms her as a writer not only of style, but of undeniable substance. Ranging from discussing Austen’s pandering to a male writing style, to imagining the dreadful fate of Shakespeare’s talented, intelligent sister, Woolf makes the topic an enjoyable journey through her imagination, filling in for the undocumented in female history, and exploring the loss to the literary landscape in her own entertaining, convincing prose.
This 1929 essay is perhaps the author’s most important work–part feminist manifesto, part literary theory and part personal reflection presaging her suicide.
It is based on a lecture given at Girton College Cambridge, is one of the great feminist attacks on male superiority. Woolf’s blazing support on female creativity, the role of the writer, and the silent fate of Shakespeare’s imaginary sister remains a powerful reminder of a woman’s need for financial independence and intellectual freedom.

Must’ve been nice. 500 quid in the 1800s is now equal to 41,534.15 pounds or $52,843.90 in US currency.

Or crap 500 in the 1930s would be equal to £32,411.04 now.

Undead Lucy what is your point?Woolf’s was that the overwhelming majority of women then had neither room nor income.
(I guess post internet neither male nor female writers expect to earn a living wage from writing…is that part of what you are saying?)

@brassy: her argument wasn’t about poverty (if that’s what you were saying?). I felt that her point was that the gender roles forced upon all women (no matter their class) prevented women from thinking and creating which ultimately keeps them forever stuck in inferior positions in society. Kind of like the social theory of hegemonic masculinity in some ways.
Also I wasn’t really making a point earlier; I just think she was lucky is all! She had WAY more freedom than most–even today! Of course even with it all she was absolutely miserable, so I guess I shouldn’t be jealous.
