Objects A Room of One’s Own, by Virginia Woolf 

In A Room of One’s Own, first published in 1929, Virginia Woolf took aim at the literary establishment of the time, which upheld the notion that women were inherently lesser writers due to their gender. She exposed the biases and systemic issues that stymied women’s creativity and argued that for them to achieve their full creative potential, they needed financial independence and a metaphorical “room of their own”.

This seminal piece of female literary critique has inspired generations of writers and remains just as enthralling nearly 100 years on – the perfect bedtime reading during Women’s History Month, whatever your gender.
