Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own: Critical Analysis
Keywords:
women's rights, freedom, women's education, Virginia Woolf, FeminismAbstract
The twentieth century witnessed the vast majority of individuals who fought to express their ideas and help spread the essence of society adaptation and women's rights in their communities; more importantly, it held strong women of status and respect who fought to grant women their basic rights and privileges in their communities. It also observed the emergence of revolutionary concepts all around the globe, which consequently triggered smaller concepts of freedom materialized in the forms of Feminism and the rights of the people. The idea of education restriction used to be an untouchable notion deeply rooted in people's minds where women were not allowed to receive education; however, a lucky selected individual all around the globe had enough support from people surrounding them who could elevate themselves and speak for other suppressed women in different communities. Virginia Woolf is one of those people who sought to educate the masses on the importance of women's education and freedom.
