500 pounds a year and her own room - this is the main thing a woman needs for creativity, according to Virginia Woolf.
"A Room of One's Own" is a famous essay based on lectures Woolf gave at Newnham College and Girton College—two women's colleges at the University of Cambridge—in October 1928. In it, she addresses all women in literature and recalls her great predecessors - Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot - forced to write in the common room, hide manuscripts away from prying eyes and constantly face the opinion that writing is unworthy occupation for a woman. The essay, despite the journalistic format, does not lose the beauty and accuracy of the style inherent in the work of Virginia Woolf, and is full of subtle humor and self-irony.
