A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas

A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas by Woolf, Virginia. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780199536603.

In A Room of Ones Own and Three Guineas, Virginia Woolf considers with energy and wit the implications of the historical exclusion of women from education and from economic independence. In A Room of Ones Own (1929), she examines the work of past women writers, and looks ahead to a time when womens creativity will not be hampered by poverty, or by oppression. In Three Guineas (1938), however, Woolf argues that womens historical exclusion offers them the chance to form a political and cultural identity which could challenge the drive towards fascism and war.
