Sažetak
In her essay A Room of One’s Own from 1929 Virginia Woolf wrote that, if you give a woman “a room of her own, a five hundred a year and let her speak her mind“, in another hundred years she will become a poet. What has changed almost a hundred years later as regards female writing? This paper tries to follow the influence of Virginia Woolf on modern feminist theories considering problems of gender and female writing in general. Woolf put forth some key questions for studying women’s literature. In this paper the points of view which she expressed in her essay are compared to the ideas of more recent feminist criticism, especially with the point of view of Susan Stanford Friedman who has tried to reconcile feminist reading of literature with modern theories of identity, advocating “a new geography of identity” which moves freely among the methods.
