Democratizing the Room: Comparing Spacial Themes in Gubar and Woolf's "Room"

Just under a century later, Gubar imitates and reiterates Woolf's essay, "A Room of One's Own," with her opening chapter to Rooms of Our Own, entitled: "The Once and Future History of Sex and Gender." There are essential differences when looking at specific points of these two works, but I argue that both authors would agree to a similar project: a democratization of the Room.
