A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN [?]

Written by Szandi Vass and Orsolya Fodor, inspired by the eponymous work, life, and writings of Virginia Woolf

In 1928, Virginia Woolf was invited to give a lecture titled Women and Fiction. From this lecture came her essay A Room of One’s Own. Now, in 2025, we evoke this lecture in the form of a staged lecture performance, relying solely on facts, completely stripped of any personal perspective.

“For my belief is that if we live another century or so—and have five hundred a year each of us and rooms of our own; if we have the habit of freedom and the courage to write exactly what we think; if we face the fact—for it is a fact—that there is no arm to cling to, but that we go alone and that our relation is not only to the world of men and women but to the reality, and the sky, too, and the trees or whatever it may be in themselves—then the opportunity will come and the dead poet who was Shakespeare’s sister will put on the body which she has so often laid down.”
— V.W.
