Vintage Feminism: Classic Feminist Texts in Short Form with an Introduction by Jeanette Winterson.

"What conditions are necessary for the creation of works of art?" Security, trust, independence, a certain level of prosperity – a room of one's own. All of this was denied to most women worldwide during Virginia Woolf's time, before her time, and since then. In this witty, provocative, and insightful pamphlet, Virginia Woolf challenges her audience of young women to continue working in secret, to cultivate the habit of freedom, and to have the courage to write exactly what we think.
