Product details
A collectible hardcover edition of Virginia Woolf's pioneering work of feminism, "probably the most influential piece of non-fictional writing by a woman in [the twentieth] century" (Hermione Lee), featuring a new introduction by Xochitl Gonzalez, Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Olga Dies Dreaming and Anita de Monte Laughs Last A Penguin Vitae Edition In October 1928, Virginia Woolf delivered two lectures to the women's colleges at the University of Cambridge, arguing with inimitable wit and rhetorical mastery that an income and a room of one's own are essential to a woman's creative freedom. These lectures became the basis for A Room of One's Own, a landmark in feminist thought, in which Woolf imagines the fictional Judith Shakespeare, sister to William and equally gifted but lost to history. How much genius has gone unexpressed, Woolf wonders, because women are not afforded the same privileges as men? A hundred years later, her brilliant polemic reverberates into our own time. In this edition, Pulitzer Prize finalist for commentary and bestselling novelist Xochitl Gonzalez contributes an introductory essay that extends the argument to Woolf's housekeeper, breaking down divides of not only gender but also race and class in order to include all women in Woolf's profoundly inspiring call to realize their creative potential. Penguin Vitae--loosely translated as "Penguin of one's life"--is a deluxe hardcover series from Penguin Classics celebrating a dynamic and diverse landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction from seventy-five years of classics publishing. Penguin Vitae provides readers with beautifully designed classics that have shaped the course of their lives, and welcomes new readers to discover these literary gifts of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.
