Markings: No markings
Condition remarks: Boards - faded spine. Binding - tight. Clean text.
A landmark work of feminist and pacifist thought, Three Guineas presents Virginia Woolf's incisive argument against war, fascism, and the patriarchal structures that perpetuate both. Written in the form of a letter responding to a man who has asked how to prevent war, Woolf argues that the oppression of women and the tyranny of militarism share the same authoritarian root, making the fight for women's rights inseparable from the fight for peace. With razor-sharp wit and meticulous logic, she illustrates how institutions such as the church, the university, and the state have historically excluded women from power, and she challenges her correspondent — and her readers — to reckon with the consequences of that exclusion. The tone is at once scholarly and fiercely polemical, drawing on a wealth of biographical and historical evidence to dismantle complacent assumptions about gender and civilization. First published in 1938, this essential essay remains one of the most radical and uncompromising works in the canon of political literature.
