"With my first review I earned one pound, ten shillings, and sixpence, and with that I bought a Persian cat. Then I became ambitious. A Persian cat is all very well, I told myself, but a Persian cat isn't enough. I have to buy a car. And that's how I became a novelist because, strange as it may seem, people will buy you a car if you tell them a story."
(Virginia Woolf, <Professions for Women>, 1931).
Throughout her career, Virginia Woolf wrote over one hundred articles and reviews for the most prestigious literary magazines and supplements of her time. This anthology brings together some of her most incisive pieces on women and literary creation, ranging from her championing of renowned authors such as Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, George Eliot, and Christina Rossetti to more eccentric figures like Madame de Sévigné and the Duchess of Newcastle, and including two of her most emblematic lectures: "Women and Fiction" and "Professions for Women." This selection serves to reclaim these works as essential context and framework for constructing her iconic Room of One's Own .
