''But, you may say, we asked you to speak about women and fiction - what has that got to do with a room of one''s own?'' A Room of One''s Own grew out of a lecture that Virginia Woolf had been invited to give at Girton College, Cambridge in 1928 and became a landmark work of feminist thought. Covering everything from why a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write, to authors such as Jane Austen, Aphra Behn and the Brontë sisters, and the tragic story of Shakespeare''s fictional sister Judith, it remains a passionate assertion for female creativity and independence in a world dominated by men. ''Fierce, energetic, humorous'' -Hermione Lee *** Have you ever thought about how fascinating the world is, wide open through the pages of a book? Reading is not just a routine activity, but also an unlimited adventure into imagination and knowledge. Reading sharpens the mind, broadens horizons, and enriches vocabulary. It is a gateway to a limitless world beyond us. Set aside a specific time for reading each day. From reading before bed to finding time in the morning, reading habits can be formed with consistency. Choose books based on your interests and literacy level. Start with books that match your desires and reading ability. Find a quiet and comfortable place to read. Adequate lighting, a comfortable chair, and a bit of background music can create a better reading experience. Make notes or keep a journal about the books you've read. Write down your thoughts, impressions, and lessons you’ve gained.
