«Una stanza tutta per sé» is Virginia Woolf's feminist essay, complete edition by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (128 pages, in Italian).
The essay stems from the lectures Virginia Woolf gave in 1928 on «women and fiction» and traces the history of women's writing to show how the lack of money and a room of one's own has conditioned women creators. Woolf denounces patriarchal society with irony and defends the material and intellectual conditions necessary for women to write.
Original work: A Room of One's Own (1929). Translation and preface by Maura Del Serra, with an introduction by Armanda Guiducci.
A reference essay for those interested in feminism, gender studies and the history of literature, for its vindication of the woman writer.
Adeline Virginia Woolf was an English writer and one of the most influential 20th-century modernist authors. She helped to pioneer the use of stream of consciousness narration as a literary device.
