Question

Which question best represents the theme Woolf analyzes in A Room of One's Own? OA. Why didn't women write during certain historical periods? B. Why was love not a factor in choosing a husband in the 16th century ? O Why didn't more women become actresses during Shakespeare's day? D. Why were women considered the property of men in the Elizabethan era?

Answer 1

Answer: A. Why didn't women write during certain historical periods?

Explanation:

Woolf analyzes the history literature written by women showing that the lack of time, privacy, and economic self-sufficiency, all required to be able to be writers, were historically denied to women.

She states that it was her aunt´s inheritance that allowed her dedication to write, in opposition to the life of most women.

This theme appears in the title itself since women need a room of their own to be able to write.
