by Susan Gubar
First published 2015
Susan Gubar, a veteran English professor, navigates the shifting currents of feminist thought and campus politics. Inspired by Woolf's seminal work, she reflects on the hard-won victories and the work that remains. From the classroom to the faculty lounge, Gubar's story is a poignant exploration of the evolving role of women in higher education, and the personal and professional challenges they face. At its heart, "Rooms of Our Own" is a thoughtful meditation on the power of ideas to transform lives and institutions.
