Vintage Woolf: A Room Of One's Own & Three Guineas

A definitive manifesto on female creative freedom and social justice.

In these two foundational essays, Virginia Woolf explores the intersection of gender, power, and the life of the mind. A Room of One's Own is a brilliant and provocative exploration of the limitations placed upon women writers throughout history. With its famous assertion that "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction," Woolf deconstructs the social and economic barriers that have silenced women’s voices for centuries.

The collection is paired with Three Guineas, a sharp and passionate polemic written on the eve of the Second World War. Here, Woolf examines the roots of fascism, the causes of war, and the urgent need for women’s education and professional independence. Together, these works remain as vital and relevant today as when they were first published, serving as a powerful call to action for equality and intellectual liberty.

This Vintage edition brings together two of the most influential feminist texts of the twentieth century, showcasing Woolf’s sharp wit, graceful prose, and unwavering commitment to the truth.
