'But,you may say,we asked you to speak about women and fiction - what has that got to do with a room of one's own'
A Room of One's Own grew out of a lecture that Virginia Woolf had been invited to give at Girton College,Cambridge in 1928 and became a landmark work of feminist thought.
Covering everything from why a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write,to authors such as Jane Austen,Aphra Behn and the Bronte sisters,and the tragic story of Shakespeare's fictional sister Judith,it remains a passionate assertion for female creativity and independence in a world dominated by men.
