The Woolf Essay Prize, inspired by Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own, is an essay competition which may be of particular interest to those studying English Literature, History, Politics, Philosophy or Sociology and adjacent subjects. A Room of One’s Own raises a number of questions surrounding the place of women in society, culture, and education, and the competition allows students to contemplate these themes and ideas while developing the independent research and writing skills essential to university-level study. This year, the Woolf Essay Prize is open to all Women in Year 12 (or equivalent), regardless of school or country. For more information, including the question list, word limit, and submission details, please consult the Information and Questions document on the webpage.
