Discussion
Virginia Woolf's novel, A Room of One's Own is an extension of her own essay. What was the topic of that essay which she later extended into a novel?
Answer: D
The key gives option D, "Literature and history are a male construct". Woolf's book grew out of two lectures she gave in 1928 on women and fiction, and the essay she expanded was on that subject. I could confirm the origin in her lectures but I could not confirm the wording in option D as the topic, so the answer rests on the key.
Nothing found shows the key to be wrong, although "Literature and women" (option A) is closer to the usual title, Women and Fiction. Education and women, and women and the economy, are themes in the book but not its starting topic.
