London: The Hogarth Press, 1929. FIRST EDITION with Dust Jacket. Original cinnamon cloth, gilt on the spine quite bright & unrubbed, in the rare original dust jacket. This has had archival restoration at the top & bottom of the spine and at the corners. Hardly perceptible. Previous owner's signature on front free end page and light discoloring to same else EXCELLENT condition in VERY GOOD dust jacket. Woolf's seminal essay on women and writing has become a classic feminist text: Woolf's "aim was to establish a woman's tradition, recognizable by its circumstances, subject-matter, and its distinct problems. A Room of One's Own charted this vast territory with an air of innocent discovery which itself sharpens the case against induced ineffectiveness and ignorance that for so long clouded the counter-history of women" "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction," said Woolf, "and that, as you will see, leaves the great problem of the true nature of woman and the true nature of fiction unsolved." One of the most influential and progressive texts of 20th century literary feminism "A Room of One's Own" is based on Virginia Woolf's Cambridge lectures called 'Women and Fiction' given at two women's colleges, the Arts Society at Newnham and the Odtaa at Girton in October 1928. Virginia Woolf makes her way through the shelves of the British Library, and thus playfully, through the history, education and writing of women in England, their marginalisation and struggle to be creative and defy convention. She analyses as well as exposes Britain as a patriarchal society and androcentric culture, and contrary to widely held assumptions, subtle irony, intelligent humor and wit abound. At the time, Virginia Woolf was just able to have her own, new room at Monk's House in Rodmell which was entirely paid for with money she had earned from her writing. It appears that the room at King's College where the famous luncheon party took place still features decorations described in the essay. . First Edition. Full Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Hardcover.
