A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas - Virginia Woolf - 9780199536603

In A Room of One's 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 One's Own (1929) she examines the work of past women writers and looks ahead to a time when women's creativity will not be hampered by poverty or by oppression. In Three Guineas (1938) however Woolf argues that women's historical exclusion offers them the chance to form a political and cultural identity which could challenge the drive towards fascism and war.
