Virginia Woolf was a great writer in the 20th century. She contributed to make wider the women writers space through her work. Furthermore she inspired and encouraged a lot of women in Literature. What is more she wrote about different topics but always feminist topic was her main concern. Woolf had an intense life consequently her work was more intense and extraordinary.As a general point of view Virginia Woolf lived a difficult life. She was extremely intelligent thank to the cultural environment that she had. This writer was surrounded by an intellectual atmosphere that was fundamental for her. On the other hand, Woolf suffered the worst thing that a woman can experience, sexual abuse. This issue was so painful and traumatic that she got six. This terrible experience become in a ghost who attack her mind, concentration, health, marriage life, etc. However she was clever and through the writing she could find some peace.In the essay “On being ill” she express all her feelings about being ill, she explained the soul just look through the body, the spirit is always perfect but the body, the container gets six. She spent many days of her life in bed, because she was six but she was always writing. This book was fantastic because almost everybody writes about the mind but never about the body. Virginia through this book brought other important subject to literature, illness.Not only illness was her concern also feminist themes were present in her work. Woolf was worried about women role of those times. She knew that women have multi roles mother, housewife, lover, etc. In addition ignorance and economic dependence were harmful for the women writings. In order to improve women works and encourage women writers to write, she wrote A Room of One's own. She starts with this statement “a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." It is hard and powerful but it is totally realistic. She knew that men have been studying from the beginning while women were cooking or washing the dishes. Consequently she dares to criticise women work though this novel.
Woolf in her essay “A room of one’s own” she invented a women writer and a novel. The main idea is to express the difficulties of a women writer and how important are these difficulties in the writer’s inspiration. Woolf analized the negative points which affect the writer’s inspiration. The first thing that Woolf says it is the importance of having a room of one’s own. It is normal that men have a personal place, a room forbbiden for children, a room for work. However a personal room for women was totally mad for those times. Even at the present time it is still weird, why a woman would need her own room? Woolf through her apectacular writing answer the question. She explaines that this personal room which has a door with a lock means that everything that exist out of the room is not important. Now everything is in the room it is important, and this room would be able to inspire the women writer.
On the other hand Woolf was not a poor person, she belonged to a middle upper class family. For this reason Woolf could write without to be worried about lack of money or working. Maybe Woolf did not know the unfair situation of the women who worked in the factories in terrible conditions. However, she knew gender discrimination and how difficult is to be a women writer in those times. The 20th century was the women movement, the women’s liberation, the female power and they fought and women got important things. The female vote, fair working conditions, etc. Nevertheless Woolf contributed to women liberation from other point of view. From the artistic point of view she contributed to women’s mind liberation.
In my case to know and to research about this writer was an unforgettable experience as a woman. I have learnt through this woman and others that I must to respect myself, my body, my spirit because they in the past work very hard for us. Thanks these brave women that at the present time we can study, work, write, sing, etc. Thanks these women we can make our own desicion and thanks Virginia Woolf that I am going to have my own room...
