A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas
Virginia Woolf
WITH AN INTRODUCTION, PLUS EXTENSIVE NOTES AND REFERENCES BY HERMIONE LEE This volume combines two books which were among the greatest contributions to feminist literature this century. Together they form a brilliant attack on sexual inequality. A Room of One's Own, first published in 1929, is a witty, urbane and persuasive argument against the intellectual subjection of women, particularly women writers. The sequel, Three Guineas, is a passionate polemic which draws a startling comparison between the tyrannous hypocrisy of the Victorian patriarchal system and the evils of fascism.

0I finished the first part (A Room of One's Own), and will read Three Guineas at a later time.
I recommend it to anyone who is interested in literature and writing. The writings of women in particular. And though it's not necessary, I do wish I had read more works of the authors she mentioned.
