Abstract

The present article pretends to pick up the existing feelings in the longing for "A Room
of One's own" wich gathered strenght in the twenties. The article describes how these feelings
emerged and awakened an echo in the conscience of the womwn of that time. With this aim
in mind, the work of Virginia Woolf and Kathleen Woodward are studied within the context
in whi they arose, deepening in how a room of their own represents for both autor a place
where they can meditate, a retirement path towards the unknown.
