In A Room of Ones Own & Three Guineas Virginia Woolf considers with energy & wit the implications of the historical exclusion of women from education & from economic independence. In A Room of Ones Own (1929) she examines the work of past women writers & looks ahead to a time when womens creativity will not be hampered by poverty or by oppression. In Three Guineas (1938) however Woolf argues that womens historical exclusion offers them the chance to form a political & cultural identity which could challenge the drive towards fascism & war.

A Room of Ones Own (1929) has become a classic feminist essay & perhaps Virginia Woolfs best known work; The Voyage Out (1915) is highly significant as her first novel. Both focus on the place of women within the power structures of modern society. The essay lays bare the woman artists struggle for a voice since throughout history she has been denied the social & economic independence assumed by men. Woolfs prescription is clear: if a woman is to find creative expression equal to a mans 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. ...
