About Me

A Room of Her Own Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to furtheringthe vision of Virginia Woolf by bridging the often fatal gap between awoman's economic reality and her artistic vision.

The Foundation was formed in 2000 to provide innovative and practical artspatronage to women through our generous grant program and unique retreatexperiences.

Our myspace page is a new endeavor undertaken to get the word out to as manywomen writers as possible to enter our room, join other women writers, and toapply for our Gift of Freedom.

Although we are in our gestational stage here on myspace, if you visit ourwebsite (The link is down to the left.) you will see that we are starting towalk--boldly and with clear direction.

Get more Myspace layouts and MySpace Graphics at pYzam .
