In this video lecture, I discuss Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One's Own, a powerful exploration of what it means to be a woman with creative talent in a world that hasn’t always given women the space they deserve.

What I love about this essay is Woolf’s courage in confronting the realities of gender inequality and the brilliant thought experiment she presents about Shakespeare’s equally talented sister.

I’ll guide you through Woolf’s arguments and offer insight on how to understand her central message: the importance of having both literal and metaphorical space to create.

This lecture is designed to help you not only appreciate Woolf’s writing but also reflect on how her ideas remain relevant today.
