Woolf's approach is to ask why, in the early 20th century, literary history presented so few examples of canonically 'great' women writers. The common prejudices of the time suggested this was caused by (and proof of) women's creative and intellectual inferiority to men. Woolf argued instead that it was to do with a very simple fact: across the centuries, male-dominated society had systematically prevented women from having the educational opportunities, private spaces and economic independence to produce great art. At a time when 'art' was commonly considered to be a province of the mind that had no relation to economic circumstances, this was a novel proposal. More novel, though, was Woolf's manner of arguing and proving her contentions: through a fictional account of the limits placed on even the most privileged women in everyday existence. An impressive early example of cultural materialism, \u003cem\u003eA Room of One's Own\u003c\/em\u003e is an exemplary encapsulation of creative thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr Tim Smith-Laing\u003c\/strong\u003e took his DPhil at Merton College, Oxford, and has held positions at Jesus College, Oxford, and Sciences Politiques in Paris. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Fiona Robinson\u003c\/strong\u003e holds a PhD in early twentieth-century English literature from Yale University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 7.81 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 04, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52437931491635,"sku":"9781912127825","price":21.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/QlM5MjZ0MlNPZWxOVS9ETFE2cHpoZz09.webp?v=1758830085","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/an-analysis-of-virginia-woolfs-a-room-of-ones-own-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
