Listen to CBC RADIO ONE Documentary on The Doc Project A Room of Your Own

Inspired by Virginia Woolf's classic essay, A Room of One's Own, Lee founded her book club in 2017 and named it "A Room of Your Own."

It was originally intended for teenage girls from Toronto schools and neighbourhoods identified as high priority, where poverty, violence and home insecurity may be part of daily life.

Today, the non-profit book club is open to teen girls across Canada. The books spark conversations about a range of topics, including drug addiction, homophobia, racism, sexism, bullying, sexual assault, mental illness, gender and sexual identity, and human trafficking. The sessions also provide professional mental health support to girls who request it.
