Produktbeschreibung
In 'A Room of One's Own & Three Guineas,' Virginia Woolf explores the concept of gender and feminism through a combination of essay and fictional narrative. Woolf challenges the traditional literary canon by dissecting the patriarchal societal structures that inhibit women's intellectual and creative freedom. Throughout the book, she emphasizes the importance of economic independence and personal space for women to thrive in a male-dominated world. Woolf's signature stream-of-consciousness style and sharp wit add a layer of depth to her arguments, making the text a thought-provoking and engaging read. 'A Room of One's Own & Three Guineas' is a seminal work in feminist literature, paving the way for future generations of women writers. Virginia Woolf, a prominent figure of the Bloomsbury Group, drew inspiration from her own experiences as a woman in a male-centric society to write this groundbreaking book. Her personal struggles and insights into gender inequality shine through in the pages, making her arguments all the more compelling and poignant. I highly recommend 'A Room of One's Own & Three Guineas' to readers interested in exploring the intersections of gender, literature, and societal norms. Woolf's masterful prose and illuminating perspectives make this book a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of women's rights and empowerment.

Autorenporträt
Virginia Woolf, born Adeline Virginia Stephen on January 25, 1882, in London, was a pioneering English writer known for her modernist and feminist literature. Woolf's narrative style is distinguished by her stream-of-consciousness technique, which sought to portray the inner thoughts and emotions of her characters, often focusing on the psychological rather than the external world. Her writings are esteemed for their depth and innovation, often addressing topics such as gender, class, and the individual's quest for self-expression. 'A Room of One's Own' (1929) is one of Woolf's seminal works, which is an extended essay that explores the historical neglect of women writers and argues for both a literal and figurative space for women in a literary tradition dominated by men. In 'Three Guineas' (1938), Woolf continued her feminist commentary, analyzing the roots of war and advocating for women's intellectual and financial independence as a means of social reform. Woolf was a central figure in the Bloomsbury Group, a collective of intellectuals, writers, and artists. Sadly, her life was marked by bouts of mental illness, and she died by drowning on March 28, 1941, leaving behind a legacy that has continued to influence writers and feminists alike. Woolf's imaginative prose and her explorations of the female experience have cemented her as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century.
