A Room of One's own
Virginia woolf has been asked to talk to a ground of young women scholars on the subject of women and fiction. Reflecting on her day, the narrator realizes that women have been shut out of education and the financial and intellectual legacy that men have always had access to.
The dramatic setting of one's own is that woolf has been invited to lecture on that topic of women and fiction. She advance the the thesis that 'a women must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction' her essay is constructed as partly-fictionalized narrative of the thinking that led her to adopt this thesis. She dramatize that mental process in the character of an imaginary narrator.
The narrator being her investigation at oxbridge college. Where she reflect on the different education experiences available to men and women as well ' as on mor material differences in their lives. She the spends a day in the British Library perusing the scholarship on women, all of which has written by mend all all of which has been writer in anger.
The figure of judith Shakespeare is generated as an example of the tragic fact a highly intelligent woman would have met with under those circumstances.
Conclusion
A survaey of the current state of literature follows, conducted through a reading the first novel of one of the narrator's contemporaries.
