Right to Rooms

Within the three short stories and the one novel we have read, "rooms" are used metaphorically to express reality. In example, look at the the significant comparisons between rooms and rights. Like rooms, rights are generally attainable, although within this specific time period, they were similarly only attainable to men. Rights, as well as rooms, vary in importance and purpose. Specifically, some rights and some rooms give more freedom than others. Particular race and gender, typically the Caucasian male, had the right to rooms but more importantly the room to attain rights. I believe this is why and how a room is used metaphorically to achieve a better view of reality during the late 1800's and early 1900's.
Therefore, is it a coincidence that Scott Russel Sanders, Annie Dillard, Virginia Wolf and Charlotte Perkins Gilman each write about rooms yet the one writer of the four that is not controlled by this room and within this room is the male writer? Annie Dillard is controlled by her very own paper and her thoughts and suffocated by her room. The narrator of Virginia Wolf's "A Room of One's Own" believes that woman are restrained from freedom of thought and speech by never having the ability to possess a room a writer uses only for themselves. The thoughts and reflections of the character Charlotte Perkins Gilman creates are controlled the yellow wallpaper and the patterns she discovers in the walls that confine her. Scott Russell Sanders expresses that he can write anywhere as long as there is no distraction. The three pieces of literature written by the women emphasize the importance of the room while Sanders does the opposite. The pieces written by the women reflect, through metaphors, the reality that women had no room of their own to set them free, or rather no rights to set them free. Scott Russell Sander's answers my question best when he explains that, "Women have had to tug harder and longer to open doors in rooms of their own" (154).
