A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf. Woolf discusses the differences between men and women writers and how these differences come down to the availability of freedom and money that men have, in comparison to women. Despite often being overlooked as a proponent of feminism, this work by Woolf displays the depth of her feelings on the topic.
