Talks & ideas

The award-winning Dyad Productions make their return to the Festival with a modern take on Virginia Woolf’s brilliant pre-TED talk, A Room of One’s Own.

Take a wry, amusing and incisive trip through the history of literature, feminism and gender with Rebecca Vaughan as your guide to Woolf’s 1928 exploration of the impact of poverty and sexual inequality on intellectual freedom and creativity.

Come be amused, challenged and changed.

Check out the rest of the awesome programme for the Auckland Writers Festival 2024!
