PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNG
by Adeline Virginia Stephen (Author)
Head of the Bloomsbury Group -- one of the most brilliant generations of the intellectuals in British culture-- and a novelist with an almost mythical aura, Virginia Woolf was also an teacher of essay. The phrase that lends the title of the book «A woman needs money and a room of one's own to dedicate to literature , generated great controversy in its time and has been misunderstood to the point of exhaustion. Where some saw elitism, Woolf wanted to vindicate the figure of the empowered woman through her writings and her economic independence, as a first step towards full realization. Woolf thus became the model author of the second wave of feminism, and offers us an intense and exciting reading that has become a contemporary classic.
