Epiphany of Woolf: Close Reading of the Last Four Paragraphs of A Room of One’s Own

Abstract

Virginia Woolf's most iconic writing A Room of One's Own not only suggests women to follow the path of creative faculty but also puts light on the necessity of having the required needs essential for the physiological and psychological development of a woman as an artist. Woolf's style of demonstrating the proper growth of an artist gets its finality in the last four paragraphs of A Room of One's Own where the rhetoric, very interestingly, follows the pattern of American psychologist, Abraham Maslow's ‗Hierarchy of Needs'.
