In the case of Virginia Woolf, her home became the headquarters of the Hogarth Press, the publishing house which she founded together with her husband, Leonard Woolf; and the houses of Victoria Ocampo were the seat of her magazine and publisher Sur. In both writers' texts great importance is given to space; they reveal the socio-political nature in the spatial dimension. Victoria Ocampo was also concerned with urban issues and she became a defender of modern architecture. Under the influence of modernism, both Woolf and Ocampo created innovating domestic conditions in line with the new feminine roles that emerged in the first decades of the 20th century. Las casas de Virginia Woolf y Victoria Ocampo fueron, además de espacios vividos o espacios del recuerdo, sede de sus proyectos laborales y se constituyeron en ámbitos de sociabilidad en los que confluían no solo familia y amigos, sino personalidades relevantes relacionados con su actividad profesional. Así, en el caso de Virginia Woolf, en su hogar funcionó la Hogarth Press, editorial que fundó junto con su marido, Leonard Woolf, y las casas de Victoria Ocampo fueron sede de su revista y editorial Sur. En sus textos, ambas escritoras dan suma importancia al espacio; intuyen la naturaleza sociopolítica de la dimensión espacial. Victoria Ocampo, además, se preocupó por cuestiones urbanísticas y fue defensora de la arquitectura moderna. Bajo la influencia del modernismo, ambas crearon condiciones de domesticidad innovadoras y acordes con nuevos roles femeninos que se insinuaban en las primeras décadas del siglo XX.
