In the midst of an ignorant society, a rumor has already been very successfully circulating about the doctor, as if he communicates with evil spirits, which is why his extraordinary skills.

The beauty of A Room of Ones Own is that it serves as an example of peace of mind, which, as Wooolf insists, is the defining quality of all great artists.

Virginia Woolf, in her essay, talks about a womans right to work. The writer considers a centuries-old story during which a woman was only a silent shadow of a man.
