A Room of One's Own & Three Guineas
ISBN : 9780099734314
This volume combines two books which were among the greatest contributions to feminist literature in the twentieth-century. Together they form a brilliant attack on patriarchy and sexual inequality. A Room of Ones Own, first published in 1929 and based upon two lectures which Virginia Woolf had given in Cambridge the year before, is a witty, urbane and persuasive argument against the intellectual subjection of women, particularly women writers. The idea for a sequel came to, her 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.
