Answer to #2

When referring needing a space to one's own and money, Woolf is referring to the fact that women have been kept from writing because of relative poverty. Financial freedom will give women the freedom to write essentially. The writing to states that having a room was "out of the question" unless a family was "rich and noble." Furthermore, Woolf's father believed only sons should be sent to college, ultimately ridding girls of knowledge. The thought of a girl being intelligent enough to write is fictitious in itself because of this.

I believe the term "space" is used literally and figuratively. It is literal in the fact that many families and women in particular did not have space to write in the is private and thought provoking. Also, society did not leave much space for women writers to evolve.More figuratively, women were shut off and limited space to men.
