EASTERN EUROPEAN STUDENTS READ VIRGINIA WOOLF'S A ROOM'S OF ONE OWN: CROSS-CULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS OF GENDERED SPACES.

This paper investigates the significance of Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own in contemporary Moldovan society. The paper highlights the influential arguments and contributions that A Room of One's Own has made in the field of Women's Studies. Then, based on the discussions that the author of the paper has had with several advanced students at the Free International University of Moldova and Moldova State University, the paper asks the questions: How do contemporary Moldovan students respond to a book published by the important British author in 1929? How do they relate to Woolf's argument that patriarchal society restricts women's access to money and personal space? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
