Room of One's Own; And, Three Guineas
Room of One's Own; And, Three Guineas | Virginia Woolf
7 posts | 8 read | 2 reading | 8 to read
In A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas, Virginia Woolf considers with energy and wit the implications of the historical exclusion of women from education and from economic independence. In A Room of One's Own (1929), she examines the work of past women writers, and looks ahead to a time when women's creativity will not be hampered by poverty, or by oppression. In Three Guineas (1938), however, Woolf argues that women's historical exclusion offers them the chance to form a political and cultural identity which could challenge the drive towards fascism and war.

Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Yesterday‘s Lifeline Cardiff purchases for the grand total of $13. Most of these are gifts for the kids but the rest are treats for me. I‘m all alone this weekend & I‘m loving it. My step children & partner are away. I‘m having big sleeps & tea & treats in bed. I went to ballet class yesterday, shopped for hrs, drank some nice wine & did some decluttering. Today I‘m off to watch Hustlers, the movie in a Gold Class Cinema=cocktails & yummy food.

LeeRHarry That sounds like a perfect weekend! Have fun in Gold Class! 😊 5y

"Is the charwoman who has brought up 8 children of less value to the world than the (male) barrister who has made a hundred thousand pounds?" -Virginia Woolf. #internationalwomensday #valuewomen #everymomisaworkingmom

I am loving this book! It's so witty. I have liked both of Virginia Woolf's novels I have read so far, but it did take me a while to get into them - with this one it was immediate! A fascinating argument about why there weren't as many women writers ( and on misogyny in general). Great so far! Can't wait to get to the weekend so I have some actual free time to read!
