Synopsis "Un Cuarto Propio (in Spanish)"

El ensayo sobre la condición de la mujer que se ha convertido en un icono de la literatura y del feminismo. Considerado uno de los textos fundadores del feminismo moderno, Una habitación propia (1929) puso en circulación ideas como la importancia de la independencia económica de la mujer y la necesidad de refutar su representación histórica en calidad de pura musa del artista. La célebre sentencia que le da título, «Una mujer debe tener dinero y una habitación propia si va a escribir ficción», sigue r esonando en nuestro tiempo y llamando a vincular lo personal y lo político. La presente edición cuenta con la insuperable traducción de Jorge Luis Borges, que ya en vida de la autora la llamó «una de la s inteligencias e imaginaciones más delicadas» de la literatura inglesa y notó que, en este libro construido con gracia musical, «al ternan el ensueño y la realidad y encuentran su equilibrio».

Virginia Woolf was born in London on January 25, 1882, and died on March 28, 1941, drowned in the River Ouse. After her father's death, the well-known man of letters Sir Leslie Stephen, Virginia and her sister Vanessa left the elegant Kensington neighborhood and moved to the bohemian Bloomsbury, which named the brilliant literary group formed around the Stephen sisters. Among its members were T. S. Eliot, Bertrand Russell, Vita Sackville-West, and the writer Leonard Woolf, whom Virginia married and with whom she ran the prestigious Hogarth Press. From her early works, Virginia Woolf highlighted her intention to take novels beyond mere narration. In Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), the author expressed the inner feelings of the characters with her own techniques, achieving great psychological effects through images, metaphors, and symbols. Her technique was consolidated with Orlando (1931) and The Waves (1931), which secured her an indisputable place within the finest world literature. Additionally, Woolf wrote essays as famous as A Room of One's Own (1929), which still inspires new generations of women today, literary criticism articles like those compiled in The Common Reader (1925, 1932) and in Genius and Ink (2021), or the biography of the English poet Elizabeth Barrett's dog, Flush (1933). All these works are published by Lumen.
