Bonus Edition

by Virginia Woolf

A Room of One's Own is a famous essay by Virginia Woolf about the limitations placed upon a woman's creativity due to society stripping away their chances at an education, finances, or an opportunity to express their voice. Woolf's essay combines fiction and non-fiction, speaking to the audience in a persona that has no specific name; the only information known is that she is a female college student driven towards discovery, but denied opportunities due to being a woman. The males around her, however, face no inequality. To further support her point, Woolf crafts the fictional historical figure of Shakespeare's sister, Judith Shakespeare, who her narrator discovers had the same potential to become just as prominent as her brother. However, because of her gender, her abilities simply remained potential that was never fulfilled, and she was driven towards despair.
