Virginia Woolf’s ‘A Room of One’s Own’ is a foundational feminist tract for theorizing women’s social and artistic roles. It is a landmark of twentieth-century feminist thought. It explores the history of women in literature through an unconventional and highly provocative investigation of the social and material conditions required for the writing of literature. These conditions, which include in this category are leisure time, privacy, and financial independence, but they are particularly relevant to understanding the situation of women in the literary tradition. She abandoned traditional fictional devices and formulated her own distinctive techniques. They serve as an excellent sample in analyzing Woolf’s literary theory and her experimental techniques. The structures of balance and sound, as well as the use of parenthesis, are analyzed in this paper. The paper, while walking along the corridors of Woolf’s mind, also explores her stream of consciousness technique.
