There’s still time to listen to a 15-minute BBC broadcast on “Women” that includes a quote from A 
Room of One’s Own (1929) and commentary on its discussion of women’s economic status and their right to work and to learn.
Sadly, though, the broadcast repeats the myth that Woolf never attended university, one that Woolf herself perpetuated. Christine Kenyon Jones and Anna Snaith dispelled that myth in 2010 when, after discovering Woolf’s King’s College records, they published an article titled ‘Tilting at Universities’: Virginia Woolf at King’s College London’” in volume 16 of the Woolf Studies Annual.
