Three Guineas : The Virginia Woolf Library Authorized Edition

';Though we see the same world, we see it through different eyes.'

Setting out to answer the question ';How are we to prevent war?' Virginia Woolf argues that the inequalities between women and men must first be addressed. Framing her arguments in the form of a letter, Woolf wittily ponders to whomamong the many who have requested itshe will donate a guinea. As she works out her reasons for which causes she will support, Woolf articulates a vision of peace and political culture as radical now as it was when first published on the eve of the Second World War. A founding text of cultural theory, Three Guineas can also help us understand the twenty-first-century realities of endless war justified by ';unreal loyalties.'

';Witty, scornful, deeply seriousIf you are a woman, or anti-war, or both, read it.'The New Yorker
