Lesson 2 — A Room of Your Own

The material argument

Woolf's claim was not poetic. She priced independence: five hundred a year and a door that locks. Without money and space, talent stays theoretical — not because women lack ability but because ability requires conditions.

The modern translation

The number today is an emergency fund and one protected block of time. Both are boundaries made of arithmetic. Neither requires permission.
