Three Guineas, Virginia Woolf, 1938, England, ESSAY

"...Each request for a guinea is seriously and thoroughly considered by questioning, in detail, why each of the needs exists: Why doesn't the English government support education for women? Why are women in England barred from professional work? And why is World War II imminent? With scathing humor, boundless dignity, and engaging detail, Virginia Woolf finds the answers to all three questions in the same source: "We can best help you to prevent war not by repeating your words and following your methods but by finding new words and creating new methods...to assert 'the rights of all—all men and women—to the respect in their persons of the great principles of Justice and Equality and Liberty.'"

(J.L., p. 31)

Here's my review which falls woefully short of shedding light on all aspects of the essay. (There are just too many!) - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1041570133

Thanks for initiating the review conversation, Samadrita. Here's to attracting enough reviewers to cover all the aspects and beyond.

I'm submitting my review for this: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I just posted a new topic, A Room of One's Own, in which I noted that VW was far ahead of her time, and ours. Three Guineas is another of her books that proves it.

I wanted to know-- should I submit my review of A Room of One's Own here???
