In this paper we are going to talk about the depiction of feminism in A Room of One’s Own written by Virginia Woolf in 1929. This literary work reflects the critical views Woolf had at the time regarding gender questions.

We consider that A Room of One’s Own is a good topic and there are different reasons for us to consider this. First of all, we feel that Virginia Woolf is an author that deserves to be commented and analysed. We found a good idea to connect the feminism with her most feminist remarkable work, A Room of One’s Own. Finally, Woolf’s ability to make us readers see what she really wants to transmit with her writing has had, definitely, an important weight for the choosing of our topic.

A Room of One’s Own is a depiction of women’s value, it is written in a way that makes us activate our analytical instinct, that makes us forget all the assumptions that we previously had about everything.

We are going to focus our attention in the arguments and examples Woolf is showing in her work to defend the significance of women. We are also interested on how Virginia Woolf passed from being in the shadow, to become one of the most famous writers in London in her time. Our analysis approaches this topic from two perspectives: the first, talks about the coming out of what we have called Shadow and the other is about Woolf as a leader in the Women’s Liberation Movement.

We are also interested in some of the voices that accepted Woolf’s points of view, and others, that didn’t. Finally, we talk about the foundation for the future work, Three Guineas, which is considered the sequel of A Room of One’s Own.
