Room of One's Own and Three Guineas (Vintage Publishing)

WITH AN INTRODUCTION, PLUS EXTENSIVE NOTES AND REFERENCES by HERMIONE LEE. This volume combines for the first time in paperback two books aby Virginia Woolf which are among the greatest contributions to feminist literature this century. Together they form a brilliant attack on Patriarchy and sexual inequality. A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN, first published in 1929, is a witty, urbane and persuasive argument against the intellectual subjection of women, particularly women writers. The sequal was 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.
