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.

Leaders Eat Last - Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't
ISBN : 9780670923175
Leaders are the ones who run head first into the unknown. They rush towards the danger. They put their own interests aside to protect us or to pull us into the future. Leaders would sooner sacrifice what is theirs to save what is ours. And they would never sacrifice what is ours to save what is theirs. This is what it means to be a leader. It means they choose to go first into danger, head first toward the unknown. And when we feel sure they will keep us safe, we will march behind them and work tirelessly to see their visions come to life, and proudly call ourselves their followers. Are you a leader ?
