‘Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind…’
A Room of One’s Own and Three Guineas collects together two of the greatest expressions of feminist thought from one of literature’s most famous voices. As Woolf addresses the marginalisation of women in education and their exclusion from economic independence in the 1920s and 30s, she contemplates the historical, social and cultural implications of their situation: that women were often thought to be beyond the bounds of intellectual consideration and relegated to the roles of wives, mothers and daughters.
Polemical, witty and lucid, these essays are the voice of a truly inimitable writer, and their importance has only increased with time.
