Virginia Woolf's lecture on 'Women and Fiction' reveals her incisive critique of male-dominated literary criticism and highlights the financial struggles faced by women writers. She argues that material conditions significantly impact artistic creation, famously asserting that a woman needs "five hundred a year and a room with a lock on the door" to write effectively. This work is celebrated as a seminal feminist text, offering a profound exploration of the barriers to female creativity and establishing itself as a cornerstone of feminist literary criticism.
