A CLASSIC FEMINIST POLEMIC WITH ENDURING RELEVANCE Since its publication in 1929, Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own has resonated with women around the world. Citing Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, and the fate of Shakespeare's gifted (imaginary) sister, Woolf's classic text reminds us of the supreme value of financial and social independence, and equality, in the creation of art and literature. An insightful introduction by Jessica Gildersleeve connects the themes of the text to today's audience, and reveals Woolf's contribution to modernist literature. Now, a new generation of readers has the opportunity to discover a work that has stood the test of time.
