of One’s Own Virginia Woolf’s, A Room of One’s Own, explores the history of women in literature. With the historical argument that being deprived of the basic fundamentals such as privacy and money, has prevented women from writing with intellect in the past. “Without money, women are slavishly dependent on men; without privacy, constant interruptions block their creativity” (Richter 3). As a result, they write out of anger or insecurity and when these emotions interfere it makes them think about themselves rather than their subjects. Virginia Woolf, giving a lecture on women and fiction, tells her audience she is not sure if the topic should be “what women are like; the fiction women write; the fiction written about women; or a combination of the three” (Sprague 5-6). Woolf who creates and examines fiction, makes a fictional narrator who will tell how she came to have certain views about women and fiction (Richter; Sprague). “She urged women to take pride in their emotions and develop the ‘female sentence,’ a language more spontaneous and less rigidly rational than male structures” (Noble 10). Chapter one introduces the thesis that “a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction” (Sprague 18). Necessary for creation of fiction, a room our your own is vital for privacy and isolation. Due to interruptions and distractions discouraging women, a room is needed to protect and shield women from these negativities. Pondering the question of women and fiction, she represents it metaphorically, in terms of fishing.
