With an introduction by Hermoine Lee This volume combines two books which
are among this century's greatest contributions to feminist literature.
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 idea for a sequel came to Woolf 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.
