Una habitación propia

A seminal text of 20th-century feminism, based on two lectures delivered by Virginia Woolf at Cambridge, A Room of One's Own explores, with singular irony and narrative talent, the profound effects of gender discrimination on women's creativity, while proposing a liberating path through economic independence. In this new edition, Ana Mata Buil's splendid translation, based on the most reliable original texts, pays particular attention to gender issues. Furthermore, the article "Women and Fiction," in which Woolf first published the central tenets of her famous book, is included as an appendix.
