Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Feminist Criticism
The premise that women need space of their own to write originated in an essay by which British author?
Possible Answers:
Gertrude Stein
Angela Carter
Virginia Woolf
Mina Loy
Djuna Barnes
Correct answer:
Virginia Woolf
Explanation:
This premise is the central tenet of Virginia Woolf’s 1929 essay A Room of One’s Own. The extended essay examines the idea that women need not only a literal room of their own for escaping the domestic roles assigned to them but also a figurative space in the traditionally male-dominated literary canon. Although the work uses a fictional narrator to make its points, it was first presented by Woolf as a series of lectures at Cambridge University.
