‘If Shakespeare had a sister as talented as he, would she have got the same\nopportunities to develop her skills?’\n\n\nThis was the burning question every feminist must have pondered over and\nagreed with while reading Virginia Woolf ’s extended essay A Room of One’s\nOwn, which was first published in 1929. Woolf worked on the idea of how\nmoney and space serve as two very crucial factors in the independence of a\nwoman, and especially one who wishes to write. In due course of her essay,\nshe brings to the surface how women have undergone injustice in the face\nof biases and social constructs spanning across centuries.
