Woolf in August: Women in A Room of One’s Own (1929)
Woolf in August: Women in A Room of One’s Own (1929) with Trudi Tate
Woolf describes A Room of One’s Own (1929) as a book about women and fiction, and many people see this as the first sustained work of feminist literary criticism.
But what is the relationship between women and fiction; and how are we to think about it, Woolf asks. Planning her lecture, she finds herself questioning the very terms: what is fiction, and what is woman? Is woman, indeed, a fiction; or at least a cultural construction; an artefact; an idea? If so, is it a good idea?
This lecture will explore Woolf’s thinking about women, creativity, and equality in A Room of One’s Own.
