Synopsis "Un Cuarto Propio (in Spanish)"

Un cuarto propio es una obra preciosa del feminismo y la teoría literaria contemporánea nacida de las conferencias que dio Virginia Woolf en dos colegios universitarios para mujeres de la Universidad de Cambridge en 1928. Revisada y ampliada, se publicó en Hogarth Press el 29 de octubre de 1929 y fue un éxito inmediato de lectura y de ventas.
El amor a las mujeres y a lo femenino libre es el rasgo distintivo de este ensayo genial que conjuga agudeza y sentido del humor, y cuya extraordinaria importancia histórica y política se sigue sintiendo hoy en día.

Virginia Woolf was born in London on January 25, 1882, and died on March 28, 1941, drowned in the River Ouse. After her father's death, the well-known man of letters Sir Leslie Stephen, Virginia and her sister Vanessa left the elegant Kensington neighborhood and moved to the bohemian Bloomsbury, which named the brilliant literary group formed around the Stephen sisters. Among its members were T. S. Eliot, Bertrand Russell, Vita Sackville-West, and the writer Leonard Woolf, whom Virginia married and with whom she ran the prestigious Hogarth Press. From her early works, Virginia Woolf highlighted her intention to take novels beyond mere narration. In Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), the author expressed the inner feelings of the characters with her own techniques, achieving great psychological effects through images, metaphors, and symbols. Her technique was consolidated with Orlando (1931) and The Waves (1931), which secured her an indisputable place within the finest world literature. Additionally, Woolf wrote essays as famous as A Room of One's Own (1929), which still inspires new generations of women today, literary criticism articles like those compiled in The Common Reader (1925, 1932) and in Genius and Ink (2021), or the biography of the English poet Elizabeth Barrett's dog, Flush (1933). All these works are published by Lumen.
