After having seen the details of Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own, it is important to mention and reinforce the idea that feminism in this work is depicted in literary terms more than in political action. In other words, what we are trying to convey is, that Woolf is employing a sort of feminist literary criticism against the literary society that has always been controlled by men. Her writing, as we have seen here, is a direct attack to the patriarchal system in the literary world, a world where women have their creativity bound. After reading our paper, it can be clearly seen Virginia Woolf’s art in writing and we would like to highlight this once more, because for us it is essential for the entire building of this work. Woolf could have written directly a critique against men in literature. Nonetheless, she expresses, creates a character that make us see through her eyes what the author is thinking, and this is one of the most remarkable things that under our consideration deserves to be known.

It has been very fruitful for us to write a paper with these characteristics. We have learnt more things about Virginia Woolf and her way of writing, about her ideas, about her fight in the society of her time. We have enjoyed reading her, we have been able to understand that subjugation women felt at the time and see that nowadays, although different, the situation has not changed as it deserved.

Finally, we consider that a good point for a future investigation would be an investigation of the sequel Three Guineas looking at it as a basis for a future paper. As we have already introduced here, this work is more about political feminism than the literary one. What is clear is that both works are fundamental feminist writings that can teach us a lot.
