Answer:

  • Self-esteem and a clear goal for writing.
  • A literal space for writing: a room to be alone.
  • A figurative space for writing: in the form of financial security.

A Room of One's Own is an important text for feminist literature, as it describes the situation of women in the literary tradition. The essay argues that things that are necessary for literary production, such as leisure time, privacy and financial independence, have been historically denied to women, placing them at a disadvantage when producing literature. However, the essay also shows that many women have been able to produce gifted texts despite all these limitations.
