Books like Three guineas by Virginia Woolf

Name: Three guineas
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)
Author: Virginia Woolf

In *Three Guineas*, Virginia Woolf responds to three distinct petitions—one for a peace society, another for a women’s college rebuilding fund, and a third for a professional women’s employment society. She uses these appeals as a springboard to examine how war, entrenched in patriarchal power structures, perpetuates inequality and limits women’s societal roles. Woolf urges educated women to form a collective opposition against ‘man‑made war’ and to pursue reforms that secure women’s rights, education, and professional prospects. Her essay intertwines historical analysis, feminist theory, and philosophical argument to advocate for a future where peace and gender equality coexist.

First publish date: 1938

Genre: History/Modern History
