Three Guineas: The Virginia Woolf Library Authorized Edition

Virginia Woolf

Mrs. Woolf has received three separate requests for a guinea - one for a women's college building fund, one for a society promoting the employment of professional women, and one to help prevent war and "protect culture, and intellectual liberty." The book is a threefold answer to these requests - and as Mrs. Woolf examines the three cause and points out that they are inseparably the same, she declares a new tactic of feminine purpose.

Praise for this book

"Woolf's goal is not merely freedom and equality for race and sex and people; it is human civilization, a civilization which must be better, sounder, and surer than any we know. Toward so broad a purpose must we move if the human mind and spirit are to stand fearless in this world."--The New York Times --
