The following reflection article, which arises from the ongoing thesis work that seeks to track representations about women in the essay A Room of One's Own of Virginia Woolf (2001), where she exposes some aspects that she suggested to women writers. One element that crosses this essay is the hypothesis that she demonstrates throughout her text: women must have money, space, independence and intellectual freedom to leave her ideas in writing. The article consists of two moments: in the first part the difficulties that women have had in writing craft are shown and, in a second part, the article points out how it is necessary to position yourself as a writer in that work, from the unpublished look of the women who narrate the world from their lens. In conclusion, writing is the art through which some women narrate the world from their still new voices, reinventing it at the same time, but simultaneously it is the weapon with which the lack of equality is pointed out that still lives on.

Keywords : women and writing; Virginia Woolf; writing and feminism; own room.
