Virginia Woolf's purpose in writing "A Room of One's Own" is to persuade women to reject social norms and to write.
Virginia Woolf writes that men have written a lot more than women. And she states that to write it is necessary to have money. This financial independence that men have, will allow them to have leisure time, and privacy to write without being interrupted. This historical difference between men and women has been established by traditional hierarchies. These social norms have to be rejected by women.
