Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind...'Based on a lecture given at Cambridge and first published in 1929, 'A Room of One's Own' interweaves Woolf's personal experience as a female writer with themes ranging from Austen and Brontë to Shakespeare's gifted (and imaginary) sister.
