She was born in Santiago de Compostela in 1837, she is a nuclear author in the current Galician literature and on indispensable figure of the literary panorama of the 19th Century. She is both a myth and a symbol of Galicia, and the author of immortal works such as "Follas Novas" or "En las orillas del Sar", she was an innovative and committed writer who used Galician in literature when nobody was doing so. In her work, she denounced the poverty of the Galician peasantry and the precarious employment situation suffered by some of the Galician inhabitants outside the community.

In the twenty-first century, both her life and literary work continue to inspire a great deal of criticism. 

In addition to being a novelist, she was a talented essayist. Woolf’s essays articulate her feminist politics, and she finds in the genre the perfect outlet to discuss the role of women in the public field, most notably addressed in A Room of One’s Own (1929). This is probably the author’s most famous essay and certainly one of Woolf’s most influential ones in terms of her feminist agenda. 

According to Woolf, women needed to acquire freedom and independence in order to develop their own skills and gain further relevance in public achievement. One of the major arguments in the text relates to how material conditions are intrinsically linked to public achievement and, as the essay proves, the lack of financial resources seriously reduces women’s possibilities to become writers, mathematicians or anthropologists. Thus, poverty lies at the heart of women’s position of disadvantage in cultural and social terms, which severely limits their choices in life.

Woolf, in short, questions in A Room of One’s Own some major conventions of the essay genre, while positing the arguments which account for women’s position of inferiority, directly derived from the lack of a space of their own and the opportunity to enjoy the independence and economic means required to write.
