In Una habitación propia, Virginia Woolf delivers one of the most influential essays of modern thought. Based on lectures given at the University of Cambridge in 1928, the author reflects with remarkable clarity on the economic independence and intellectual space required for literary creation. Through elegant, ironic and deeply analytical prose, Woolf explores Western cultural history to challenge the restrictions imposed on women’s authorship and to defend creative freedom.

Far from a purely academic treatise, this work blends fiction, literary criticism and essay into a hybrid form that has shaped generations of readers and scholars. Its relevance remains undeniable, offering a stimulating reflection on the relationship between art, identity and social structures.

An essential edition for those who appreciate foundational texts of twentieth-century literature and wish to enrich their personal library with a landmark work of modern culture.
