A Room of One's Own is an extended essay first published on 24 October 1929 based on a series of lectures Virginia Woolf delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at Cambridge University, in October 1928. While this essay employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers of and characters in fiction, the original manuscript titled "Women and Fiction" was published as an article in Forum, March 1929. A Room of One's Own is generally seen as a feminist text, and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figural space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by patriarchy.

The essay is proposed with notes and illustrations. The publication also includes A Society and Professions for Women.
