Synopsis

A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given at Girton College Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics, ranging in its themes from Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte to the silent fate of Shakespeare's gifted (imaginary) sister and the effects of poverty and sexual constraint on female creativity. Three Guineas was published almost a decade later and breaks new ground in its discussion of men, militarism and women's attitudes towards war. These two pieces reveal Virginia Woolf's fiery spirit and sophisticated wit and confirm her status as a highly inspirational essayist.

Reviews

Customer Review: 14 September 2009

Reviewer: V. J. Lazarus

'Women and Fiction. The dizzying topic to which Virginia Woolf dedicates a novel to discussing. At times entirely hypothetical, moments it portrays a purely rich investigation into certain women who fought against the patriarchal criticism of the age. It is filled with verve and intellectual observation. '
