A Room of One's Ownis an extended essay based on two lectures that Virginia Woolf delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at the University of Cambridge, in 1928. In this work, Woolf explores the societal and material conditions required for women to write and produce literature. The central thesis of A Room of One's Own is encapsulated in Virginia Woolf's assertion that "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." Woolf argues that women have been systematically denied the financial independence and private space necessary to create literary works. She examines the history of women in literature and highlights the difficulties they faced in pursuing their artistic ambitions.

Virginia Woolf nasceu em Londres a 25 de janeiro de 1882, filha de Sir Leslie Stephen, escritor e historiador ilustre da Inglaterra vitoriana. Desde cedo ligada a grupos de intelectuais, casou em 1912 com Leonard Woolf e com ele fundou a editora Hogarth Press, responsável pela revelação de autores como Katherine Mansfield e T. S. Eliot e pela publicação das suas próprias obras. Reconhecida como uma das mais proeminentes figuras do modernismo britânico, destacam-se entre os seus trabalhos os romances Mrs Dalloway (1925), Orlando (1928) e As Ondas (1931), assim como o ensaio Um Quarto que Seja Seu (1929).
