Another Look Presents Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own

This is an Archive of a Past Event

Please join us for a discussion of Virginia Woolf's 1929 A Room of One's Own. According to a contemporary review in the Los Angeles Times, "If you miss this book, which is profound and subtle and gently ironic and beautifully written, you will have missed an important reading experience." Another Look will reconsider the book's legacy a century later. The Bloomsbury author's iconic book, an extended essay, is in public domain and widely available.
