About this ebook
In October 1928, Virginia Woolf participated as a speaker in two conferences on the theme "Women and the Novel." On this occasion, she elaborated on many reflections on the female universe and literary creativity. The result is this extraordinary essay, a veritable "manifesto" on the condition of women from the beginning of time to the present day. In particular, the author focuses on the relationship between "women and writing," starting from the fact that for centuries literature has systematically excluded women. How could a woman, Virginia Woolf asks, try her hand at writing if she did not have "money and a room of her own"? Through this fair and bitter reflection, a journey through the literature of the last few centuries begins, which over the years has become a classic of writing and thought.
