<i>Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind...</i><br /><p>Based on a lecture given at Cambridge and first published in 1929, <i>A Room of One's Own</i> interweaves Woolf's personal experience as a female writer with themes ranging from Austen and Bronte to Shakespeare's gifted (and imaginary) sister. <i>Three Guineas</i>, Woolf's most impassioned polemic, came almost a decade later and broke new ground by challenging the very notions of war and masculinity. <br /></p><p>This volume combines two inspirational, witty and urbane essays from one of literature's pre-eminent voices; collectively they constitute a brilliant and lucid attack on sexual inequality.</p>
