A Room of One's Own - Virginia Woolf [Audiobook ENG]

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- A Room of One's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf. First published on 24 October 1929, the essay was based on a series of lectures she delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at Cambridge University in October 1928. While this extended essay in fact employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers of and characters in fiction, the manuscript for the delivery of the series of lectures, titled "Women and Fiction", which was published in Forum March 1929, and hence the essay, are considered non-fiction. The essay is generally seen as a feminist text and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figurative space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by men.

Thank you!
Beautifully read. So poignant whilst being funny, witty and charming, all at the same time. What a formidable intellect she was. Thank you.
This is the original book audio ??
Appreciate it
Thanks.
This is so much easier to understand and focus on when listening and reading at the same time, thanks.
When i was a kid, i used this book to show my mother that i needed a room & privacy. I asked her to buy it, but she couldn't find it. I was trying to give her some signs that I'm mentally sick.. it came out as autism..
Scary that it is still relevant. Lovely read, thank you.
100%
I read this book a long time back, but perhaps I’m ether an auditory learner, but the reader does such a great job here. I’m getting so much more out of it now. A great listen. Many “points to ponder”.
I’m reading this in Uni right now and the puddle of text just doesn’t have what the speaker has, maybe it’s my expectation of the “British” accent. Or the spaces in between the lady’s voice, but it plays out so much better in the mind.
This book is high on acid yet no confusion just clarity.
Wonderfully thought provoking essay that was perfect listening for a 4-hour drive! Now I’m wondering how I missed reading Virginia Woolf in school?
I watched Vita and Virginia and I fell in love with the latter. I started by reading her letters to and from Vita and now I am reading her books. Such a marvellous writer.
be sure to read orlando. it's a lot of fun
@@barbaraschumacher3861 I read Vita's biography. Stunning. I'm fascinated with both these women.
Yes, beautifully read, and what an eye-opener this book is by a genius of a woman.

Oh thanks
I’m so happy I treated myself to listening to this in my free time. WOW, this is just exactly what I needed for inspiration for the characters in my novel (especially the females) I’m working on!
Female birds? Female horses? Female dogs… Bitches? If your characters are human then they are women, not females. Consider why you called them that because if you don’t it will likely get in the way of writing them, well, as full complex humans.
A superb reading and an astounding essay. This is a cure for writer's block that I will revisit often
Majestic writer my Queen Virginia Woolf is... And what brilliant eloquence the orator has shown. Best version of audiobook ever!!
Have read the book a few years ago, but it’s great to hear it read out aloud
Shout out to all the covid lockdown listeners!

The reader brings this wonderful essay to life
A Book that shows the mirror to the society !
Big thank you. Silly me: I thought I didn't need to read this book yet again--no one tells it as richly as Virginia Woolf.
Absolutely Channeled Genius
Wonderful! Beautifully and thoughtfully written and read.👍👍
Perfect reading of a genius book. Thank you !!
so pleased there's an audio of this it feels more powerful this way
Thank you soo much from Turkey :) im learning English with you
this audiobook has helped so much. you have saved my english grade, thank you.
To think that some things which Woolf expected are now a reality.... Goes to show how much of an intellectual genius was she and the university which once denied her entry certainly now preserves her works in high esteem. She must be smiling from above at the progress people of her sex have made.
Beautiful reading. Thank you.
The readings are so well done! I had to share with my friends
Had to read this for college. Thank God I could listen to it instead.

Currently reading this for my online Lit class at SJCC 🤣😂

This is one idea that I would like to refer men of the "AltRight" to when they claim that the lack of female engineers, scientists, and so on throughout history should be attributed to some inherent disparity between the sexes in intellect or creativity. The only pertinent disparities were in access, and as Woolf describes, motivation.
That's interesting because, as education studies have shown, specifically the world famous PISA tests, girls do not perform below boys in math and sciences; they both perform about the same. They do however perform ABOVE boys in humanistic classes like literature (English), history and so on. I personally believe this also accounts for some of the disparity, and how soft sciences on the other hand are vastly overrepresented by women (not that it is a bad thing).
It wouldn't make a difference to those who are already convinced of their altright position. It's an obvious understanding to anyone with any knowledge of society. They are not open to knowledge and ideas, they only seek to confirm their anger, arrogance and self-loathing. If you get smoothing considered back, anything other than vitriol, let us know!

A thought, as if a fish which "swayed, minute after minute...among the reflections of the weeds", allowed to be carried through the lifting and sinking waves and pushed by a sudden splash outside the water. This thought, laid on a grass looks as insignificant and small as an immature fish which "a good fisherman puts back into the water so that it may grow fatter and be one day worth cooking and eating".
"Why if it was an illusion not Praise the Catastrophe whatever it was that destroyed elevation and put true in its place"
If Tennyson and Rossetti described illusion, why not describe the/paradise the Catastrophe, the truth.
"One cannot sleep well, love well, think we'll, if one has not dined well."

Well done Corey Samuel
this is a pretty good book/lecture
I adored the way it was read! Can we have a way to communicate with the reader?
I believe her name was mentioned in the beggining of the reading.
Back off (lol)

40 min in can't figure out what this is all about
It took a while for me to get used to her verbosity. I recommend reading sparknotes after each chapter.
“A woman who wants to be a writer needs money and a room of her own” is stated in the first 5 minutes of the book. The rest of it is a delightful stream of consciousness essay about why that is needed, what effects not having that has had in women writers, and her observations and ideas about on men, women, gender, inequality, challenges and feminism as they were in 1928. In spite of all the advances we have made since then, much of this is still relevant in 2021.
Thank you!!
This made me depressed
Keep always forward!

All the birds are up and out searching for heat and food in the winter sun. Foraging for a worm like Mrs Dalloway for a word. Once found they can both survive the future frost publish a novel or nest in a library of may hedgerows.
