Equal, Yet Treated Inferior In Virginia Woolf’s essay, “A Room of One’s Own”, Woolf expresses her grief over the lack of recorded works from women and the near-nonexistent historical evidence of ingenious work from any female before the 19th century (Woolf). Beginning in the second paragraph, Woolf ponders the conditions in which women had to live in; the reason why a woman’s published thoughts can hardly be found on the history shelves.

In this particular novel she analyzes the topic of feminism, the major theme in A Room of One’s Own, with the accompanying discussion of writing.
