Delve into this powerful combination of two books that were among the greatest contributions to feminist literature this century.

...

The essay lays bare the woman artist’s struggle for a voice, since throughout history she has been denied the social & economic independence assumed by men.

Woolf’s prescription is clear: if a woman is to find creative expression equal to a man’s, she must have an independent income, & a room of her own. This is both an acute analysis & a spirited rallying cry; it remains surprisingly resonant & relevant in the 21st century.

The novel explores these issues more personally, through the character of Rachel Vinrace, a young woman whose ‘voyage out’ to South America opens up powerful encounters with her fellow-travellers, men & women.

As she begins to understand her place in the world, she finds the happiness of love, but also sees its brute power. Woolf has a sharp eye for the comedy of English manners in a foreign milieu; but the final undertow of the novel is tragic as, in some of her finest writing, she calls up the essential isolation of the human spirit.
