Woolf exposes the prejudices and limitations that women authors have fought against for centuries and advocates for a more equitable literary institution. This volume brings together two books that are among the greatest contributions to feminist literature of this century. Together, they form a brilliant attack on sexual inequality. A Room of One's Own, first published in 1929, is a witty, urban, and compelling plea against the intellectual oppression of women, particularly women authors. The sequel, Three Guineas, is a passionate polemic that draws a startling comparison between the tyrannical hypocrisy of the Victorian patriarchal system and the evils of fascism.
