Produktbeschreibung
In 1928 Virginia Woolf gave two speeches at Newnham and Girton Colleges on the subject of ''Women and Fiction'' - speeches which went on to become A Room of One''s Own, one of the most important feminist texts of all time. Following the success of its publication, Woolf began to craft a follow-up novel-essay with which she intended to tie up the ''loose ends'' left by her earlier work. The structure and shape of this follow-up title continued to evolve, however, and it was nearly a decade before Three Guineas appeared in print.Written in response to three letters - an educated gentleman''s letter asking for her help in his efforts to prevent war, a letter asking for funds to rebuild a women''s college and a letter asking for support for a charity aiding women in finding work - Woolf''s three guineas on war, education and work are a level-headed and compassionate voice of reason in a storm of anger and repression.
