A Room of One's Own is an extended essay, first published on the 24th of October, 1929, based on a series of lectures delivered by Virginia Woolf, at Newnham College and Girton College — two women's colleges at Cambridge University, in October 1928.

Woolf offered her audience and all the generations that will follow a provocative and stimulating reflection on the condition of women and the social alienation to which they have been subject, since Antiquity, in a world dominated by men, referring to the material and social conditions for a woman to be able, if she so desires, to write and create, and exploring the effects of poverty or sexual constraint on female creativity.

A Room of One's Own is considered one of the most important texts of the 20th century, as it signs a founding moment in modern feminism, which returns to the political sphere the ancient and fair struggle of equality.

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).
