Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own: Chapter One Chapter one opens up the question about women and fiction. The narrator’s thesis is that in order for a woman to write she must have her own security of money and a quiet room to herself. Throughout the chapter, it journeys through the narrator’s day and her many encounters with the institutional sexism at the universities. Towards the end of the chapter you get a better understanding of why someone must have their own quiet room in order to be creative. This leads into chapter two as she continues her journey to shed some light on her thesis about women and fiction. One of the main themes in A Room of One’s Own is the reoccurrence of sexism.
