Celebrate a vital work of feminism with this special edition featuring the original cover created by Virginia Woolf''s sister, Vanessa Bell, and the original text first published by The Hogarth Press.
Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.
Witty, urbane and vital to this day, A Room of One’s Own is a persuasive argument against the intellectual subjection of women, particularly women writers. It weaves together memoir, imaginative speculation and political vision to create one of the most important works of feminism of the twentieth century.
The book sprang from two lectures that Woolf delivered at the University of Cambridge in 1928. The first printing of the book the following year was as a limited edition, a joint publication between The Fountain Press of New York and the Hogarth Press. Two months later it was released to the general trade and has been an essential work ever since.
The text of this edition of A Room of One’s Own is based on the original Hogarth Press edition, published by Virginia and Leonard Woolf in October 1929. The dust jacket features the original cover created by Virginia Woolf’s sister, Vanessa Bell, for the Hogarth Press. Beneath the cover ‘cinnamon’ boards printed in gilt take inspiration from the finish of the first trade edition.
''Brilliant interweaving of personal experience, imaginative musing and political clarity'' Kate Mosse
''Achingly relevant'' Natasha Walter, Guardian
