Through a series of letters, Virginia Woolf's powerful and provocative extended essay confronts the intertwined issues of fascism, feminism, and war.


Written as a response to three separate requests for donations from feminist organisations, Three Guineas explores the broader questions of women's roles in society, the pursuit of justice, and the resistance against oppressive systems. Woolf articulates her vision for a society where women are free to pursue education, careers, and intellectual independence—free from the constraints of patriarchal expectations.


First published in 1938, Three Guineas is not just a reflection on the societal challenges of Woolf's time but also a timeless statement on the feminine purpose and the need for solidarity in the face of tyranny and violence. It remains an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of gender, politics, and social justice.

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf was born in London in 1882. After her father's death in 1904 Virginia and her sister, the painter Vanessa Bell, moved to Bloomsbury and became the centre of ‘The Bloomsbury Group’. This informal collective of artists and writers exerted a powerful influence over early twentieth-century British culture.

In 1912 Virginia married Leonard Woolf, a writer and social reformer. Three years later, her first novel The Voyage Out was published, followed by Night and Day (1919) and Jacob's Room (1922). Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces, from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to The Waves (1931).

She also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism and biography. On 28 March 1941, a few months before the publication of her final novel, Between the Acts, Virginia Woolf committed suicide.
