'A landmark of feminist thought and a rhetorical masterpiece' Guardian

Ranging from the silent fate of Shakespeare's gifted imaginary sister to Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë and the effects of poverty and sexual constraint on female creativity, A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given by Woolf at Girton College, Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics. Published almost a decade later, Three Guineas breaks new ground in its discussion of men, militarism and women's attitudes towards war. These two pieces reveal Virginia Woolf's indomitable spirit, sophisticated wit and genius as an essayist.

Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Michèle Barrett

 

From the Inside Flap

With an introduction by Hermoine Lee

This volume combines two books which are among this century's greatest contributions to feminist literature. Together they form a brilliant attack on patriarchy and sexual inequality. A Room of One's Own, first published in 1929 is a witty, urbane and persuasive argument against the intellectual subjection of women, particularly women writers. The idea for a sequel came to Woolf early in 1931, after she had addressed the London National Society for Women's Service, and was eventually published in 1938 as Three Guineas - a passionate and much more strongly charged polemic which draws a startling comparison between the tyrannous hypocrisy of the Victorian patriarchal system and the evils of fascism.
