A Room of One's Own

Woolf uses a narrator figure to present most of this work, writing as herself only at the end of Chapter 6. What is the narrator’s significance, and how does the narrator function as a literary device?

The main criticisms of A Room of One’s Own highlight Woolf’s limited point of view, especially her presumptions that exclude women of color, LGBTQ+ women, women in lower social classes, etc. Consider modern feminist ideas to explain how Woolf’s main arguments could be made more inclusive.

Woolf uses many metaphors in this work to make her arguments through symbolic representation. Select one metaphor and describe its significance, especially as it relates to the main topic or argument(s) of this work.
