In October 1928 Virginia Woolf was asked to deliver speeches at Newnham and Girton Colleges on the subject of ''Women and Fiction''; she spoke about her conviction that ''a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction''. The following year, the two speeches were published as A Room of One''s Own, and became one of the foremost feminist texts.Knitted into a polished argument are several threads of great importance – women and learning, writing and poverty – which helped to establish much of feminist thought on the importance of education and money for women''s independence.
In the same breath, Woolf brushes aside critics and sends out a call for solidarity and independence – a call which sent ripples well into the next century.
