'Brilliant interweaving of personal experience, imaginative musing and political clarity' Kate Mosse

Virginia Woolf exposes the prejudices and constraints against which women writers struggled for centuries, and argues for a more equal literary establishment.

This volume combines two books which were among the greatest contributions to feminist literature this century. Together they form a brilliant attack on 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 sequel, Three Guineas, is a passionate polemic which draws a startling comparison between the tyrannous hypocrisy of the Victorian patriarchal system and the evils of fascism.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY HERMIONE LEE

One realises afresh the full meaning of originality, the magic of the mind which plays around concrete facts as though they were all spirit. And when it is finished it is with a renewed sense of zest and stimulus that one takes up life again and looks anew at objects which before were only ordinary. * Guardian * Brilliant interweaving of personal experience, imaginative musing and political clarity -- Kate Mosse

Achingly relevant -- Natasha Walter * Guardian *

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf nasceu em Londres a 25 de janeiro de 1882, filha de Sir Leslie Stephen, escritor e historiador ilustre da Inglaterra vitoriana. Desde cedo ligada a grupos de intelectuais, casou em 1912 com Leonard Woolf e com ele fundou a editora Hogarth Press, responsável pela revelação de autores como Katherine Mansfield e T. S. Eliot e pela publicação das suas próprias obras. Reconhecida como uma das mais proeminentes figuras do modernismo britânico, destacam-se entre os seus trabalhos os romances Mrs Dalloway (1925), Orlando (1928) e As Ondas (1931), assim como o ensaio Um Quarto que Seja Seu (1929). Após sucessivas crises depressivas e não suportando o isolamento provocado pelo agravar da Segunda Guerra Mundial, suicida-se a 28 de março de 1941, em Lewes.
