Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own is a foundational feminist text exploring the material and psychological conditions necessary for women's creative work. Through a series of essays, Woolf argues that women need financial independence and private space to produce literature. More than a manifesto, the book is a brilliant meditation on gender, creativity, and the historical silencing of women's voices.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Woolf understood that freedom begins with a door you can close.
