A Room of One's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf. First published on 24 October 1929, the essay was based on a series of lectures she delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at Cambridge University in October 1928. While this extended essay in fact employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers of and characters in fiction, the manuscript for the delivery of the series of lectures, titled ¡°Women and Fiction¡±, and hence the essay, are considered non-fiction. The essay is generally seen as a feminist text, and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figural space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by patriarchy.弗吉尼亚•伍尔夫是女性主义的先驱，本书体现了她的一系列女性主义观点。她提出女性从事写作要有“一个自己的房间”，建构女性自己的话语方式，倡导双性同体理论等。本书从现实的生活环境谈到女人应当怎样才能独立、怎样才能平静而独立地思考，文笔细腻、机智风趣，是女性文学的传世名篇。
