A Room of One's Own is based on two lectures which Virginia Woolf gave at Cambridge University in 1928 to the women students there. It is performed here by the British actress Eileen Atkins.
Thank you for uploading this gem. I have long wanted to read 'A Room of One's Own' but been daunted by Virginia's stream of consciousness method of writing and the seduction of her word-music. Eileen Atkins has done a phenomenal job in delivering this essay. 50 minutes or passed like a whisper.
I remember watching this and crying in my room when it was first run on Masterpiece Theater. God bless you for posting it, I never thought I'd ever get to see it again!!!
It was superb performance! We all need to know history of women’s rights. I am so thankful for these amazing women in the history. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely brilliant! I'm slayed. What a combination to see! Transferring the content of Virginia in a flawless performance such as this is mind blowing. Thank you
