Description

A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas by Virginia Woolf This collection of essays is a landmark of feminist thought, exploring the social and cultural constraints that have shaped female creativity. Woolf's writing is a masterful blend of wit, intelligence and intellectual courage, as she examines the lives and works of women writers such as Shakespeare's imaginary sister, Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë. In addition to her groundbreaking discussion of women's roles in society, Three Guineas also breaks new ground in its analysis of militarism and women's attitudes towards war. Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Michèle Barrett, this edition provides a nuanced understanding of Woolf's work and its enduring relevance today.
