Woolf’s Wish a Century Later
Virginia Woolf dreamed of a world where every woman had a room of their own to create and be themselves. That was a century ago. Her iconic essay "A Room of One's Own" was published in book form in 1929. The estimated global population in 1927 is two billion. We just hit eight billion in 2023. If Virginia Woolf lived today, she'd be sharing the world with six billion additional people. Her beloved bustling London is now cramped and noisy; not every woman is able to afford a country cottage, then or now. Also, Virginia Woolf did not have kids.

What does a writer need to write? We need spaces, and so many of them. One might think that we need pen and paper, or in our modern age, a keyboard of some kind. Those are indeed spaces to create marks on physical or digital blank pages. A writer needs so many more different kinds of spaces: space in their schedules, space in the greater world, space from or with others.
