For centuries, women have sought out to endow oneself and society; to implode fiction; to create clearinghouses of ideas without the interference of man. Alas, the glass ceiling is broke; the door unlocked. In A Room of One's Own, Virginia Woolf skillfully, using the technique of stream of consciousness, discusses the problems of women writers. The journey she reveals illuminates our own journeys. Through the powerful use of stylistic techniques, Woolf illustrates insightful views towards male superiority, feminism, and liberation, as well as the historic barriers that prevented women from pursuing writing careers.

Anything may happen when womanhood has ceased to be a protected occupation.
