“…Gender roles are culture bound and are shaped differently by the society (Letherby et al, 2014). Woolf explicitly identifies material security to women writers in A Room of One's Own as an important condition for "deliberative democracy" between males and females (Stein, 2009). Although women were accorded little value from an economic perspective, they were always seen as objects of desire and a piece of property that could be bought and sold in the market.…”

A Room of One's Own can be categorized as a 'feminist manifesto' because it discusses the role of women in the history of literature. Woolf argues that women are oppressed and explains why women are prevented from writing fiction. Further, A Room of One's Own raises many critical issues that are still significant for women of our contemporary world and hence suggests some of the materialist reasons for the oppression of women from Antigone to the present. To Woolf, educating women is the major momentum in their liberation because that is the only way for them to be treated 'equally'. Through female representations in the book, Woolf presents the conditions of men and the mindset of the society. This qualitative study aimed to determine male representations as perceived by undergraduate English Language and Literature students. Male chauvinism, male domination and male freedom were found to be the dominant themes.
