A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf

hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

To be honest, this essay was not revolutionary to me as someone who has been actively consuming post-modern feminist ideology for most of my life…. but that is because Virginia Woolf is quite literally blocks of the foundation of post-modern feminism. And I thoroughly enjoyed reading through her lecture—it felt very pure and clear to read it from the source. It was devoid of the muddling that can often come with decades and decades of think-pieces and counter-arguments. Overall, if you are new to the idea of feminism within art, I would highly recommend reading this once, and if you are not new to it, I hope you take the time to read it as it feels very refreshing and centering. Even after 100 years, Woolf remains relevant (which can sometimes feel both encouraging and discouraging).
