A Room of Her Own: Women’s Personal Spaces by Chris Casson Madden

Photography by Jennifer Levy

Clarkson Potter, 1997

With over 200 stunning full-color photographs and an intimate, engaging text, A Room of Her Own: Women’s Personal Spaces brings to life the special places that women have created as retreats from their busy everyday routines. The book is full of innovative and stylish ideas for creating a room of one’s own. 

Although the photos in this book were taken before the current digital enhancements became widely available, the subject matter is timeless. Chris Casson Madden and Jennifer Levy tastefully capture the private spaces where known (and lesser-known) women retreat, dream, grieve, remember, and renew.

The seven chapters are varied:

  1. Celebrating Color
  2. Sacred Places
  3. Working Sanctuaries
  4. Natural Retreats
  5. Serene Spaces
  6. Evoking Memories
  7. Garden Rooms

The photographs and notes offer an abundance of ideas for defining our own spaces—whether they be fancy or simple, detailed or sparse, central or remote.

Have you ever enjoyed a room of your own?
