<P> A Room of One 's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf . First published on 24 October 1929 , the essay was based on a series of lectures she delivered at Newnham College and Girton College , two women 's colleges at Cambridge University in October 1928 . While this extended essay in fact employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers of and characters in fiction , the manuscript for the delivery of the series of lectures , titled `` Women and Fiction '' , which was published in Forum March 1929 , and hence the essay , are considered non-fiction . The essay is generally seen as a feminist text and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figurative space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by men . </P>
