In 1929, Virginia Woolf published her (now famous) extended essay, A Room of One’s Own (Hogarth Press), which examined the role of money which was used (then, as now) to stifle or empower the creative lives of women (and, let’s face it, men, and, well, everyone). Nearly a hundred years on, we reflect on the endearing importance of a dedicated space where writers may go to reflect and create in a new series: A Space of One’s Own.
