Three Guineas
Three Guineas | Virginia Woolf
6 posts | 15 read | 7 to read
The author received three separate requests for a gift of one guinea-one for a womens college building fund, one for a society promoting the employment of professional women, and one to help prevent war and protect culture, and intellectual liberty. This book is a threefold answer to these requests-and a statement of feminine purpose.

Pickpick

Amo los libros de #virginiawoolf donde escribe sobre educación, género y el lugar de las mujeres en la sociedad. Esta fue una lectura difícil porque aunque se han avanzado en mucho de los temas tratados en este libros y en los derechos de la mujer la repetición de estas problemáticas en la actualidad nunca deja de sorprenderme. #threeguineas

This essay is every bit as brilliant as A Room of One's Own. It burns! It burns with the searing light of satire, the barely contained anger of centuries of oppression, and a fabulous command of language.

"In short, if newspapers were written by people whose sole object in writing was to tell the truth about politics and the truth about art we should not believe in war, and we should believe in art."

ValerieAndBooks Love this! It is so frustrating that art is so underrated in so many ways! 8y

Say what?!? Virginia Woolf mentions an attempt, some 300 years ago now, by a Mary Astell, to found a university for women. With monetary aid of the Princess Anne. But the church intervened. The bishop seemed to think that education would turn Protestant women into Catholics? From learning Latin, or what? 🙄😆 Why was this not a risk with men? Or were Catholics more pro education? I might have to google the incident.
