Abstract

This paper is a critical reading of Virginia Woolf's essay A Room of One's Own, bearing in mind that this work exerts a very great influence over the Italian Sexual Difference Thought (Il pensiero della differenza sessuale) as one of his main references. In this sense, we have wondered if Woolf's work can be considered as a feminist text with the purpose of study, through this perspective, the interrelations between the woolfian text and the Philosophy of Sexual Difference.
