Abstract	Abstract: Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own (1929) remains one of the most seminal feminist texts, examining the intersection of gender, economics, and creative autonomy. Woolf’s central argument—that women require financial independence and personal space to create literature—remains relevant in contemporary discussions on gender roles. This paper explores the transformation of gender roles in modern society through Woolf’s lens, analyzing how economic empowerment, shifting cultural paradigms, and feminist movements have dismantled traditional constraints. By contextualizing Woolf’s arguments within today’s socio-political landscape, this study highlights the enduring impact of A Room of One’s Own on contemporary gender discourse.
