A Room of Ones Own/Three Guineas
Ranging from the silent fate of Shakespeare's gifted (imaginary) sister to Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte and the effects of poverty and sexual constraint on female creativity, A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given at Girton College, Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics. These two pieces reveal Virginia Woolf's fiery spirit, sophisticated wit and genius as an essayist. Published almost a decade later, Three Guineas breaks new ground in its discussion of men, militarism and women's attitudes towards war.
