More space, more opportunities, more equality!


There is a real need to have a space, both real and metaphorical to write. Just like Virginia Woolf wrote in her essay, women need a physical space to put pen to paper all their thoughts and ideas and also they necessitate a space in their society to express their feeling concretely.

What Virginia Woolf is doing in her essay is to call for more participation from women’s part in the writing process of their society. She is demanding more room for her genre when she says they need more space to write. The author claims an equal role for women in society. She has pointed out that many women do not have the same opportunities than men have when the writing process is taking place.

In the same way, Woolf is claiming for more internal space for women to write. In other words, she is arguing that women need to free themselves from men’s (and sometimes themselves) yoke if they want to have a real space to express themselves.

To conclude, Virginia has raised an important issue, the necessity of more space for women’s development in a chauvinist society.
