´But, you may say, we asked you to speak about women and fiction - what has that got to do with a room of one´s own?´ A Room of One´s Own grew out of a lecture that Virginia Woolf had been invited to give at Girton College, Cambridge in 1928 and became a landmark work of feminist thought. Covering everything from why a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write, to authors such as Jane Austen, Aphra Behn and the Brontë sisters, and the tragic story of Shakespeare´s fictional sister Judith, it remains a passionate assertion for female creativity and independence in a world dominated by men.
