Three Guineas: The Virginia Woolf Library Authorized Edition

First, about the false advertising: Amazon promises the Kindle edition is the Annotated Edition. In fact, it is not. I read this book at least every year, and have several paperback editions of it, including the annotated one. I wanted the annotated in kindle to teach from, but when it came, I was disappointed to see it's the one without original pictures & annotations. I tried to get Amazon's attention about this, but the online communications proved too cumbersome to work through.This work's mportance is immense; it is a 1938 update of and response to Mary Wollstonecraft's A VINDICATION OF THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN (1792).. If you find the reading difficult at first, read it aloud to yourself until you get a sense of Woolf's style and voice. This is a sequel to A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN, much more potent than that canonized work.Read it!

Good experience with this seller, no issues. The item was just what I was looking for.

Virginia Woolf wrote "Three Guineas" because of the wide spread response to "A Room of One's Own." The tone is quite different, though the glittering prose is the same. This book is a classic and should be on the shelves of any literary person, not simply in the possession of every feminist.  Three Guineas (Annotated)

DO we live in a fascist society now?DO we have institutions built into our society that promote competition and exclusion?Is feminism still necessary?Read the book. Woolf was on to something.

Everyone reads A room of one's own. Don't miss this one. On the eve of fascism. She's both a feminist and a critic of feminism. A curious insight into the interwar period

Good

This title forms the basis for any other feminist tract that's ever been written since. This book-length essay is simply exceptional, and is very very powerful.

I’m not certain which vendor Amazon is using, but this is the 2nd book that is cheap. Paper tinted, crowded letters etc. Very surprised the price does not reflect the quality at all.

A wonderful, well researched essay about the ways in which society oppresses women. Woolf uses both the situation unfolding in Europe (World War Two) and the Victorian model of the patriarchal home and college ot illustrate her point. Unfortunately it still remains a very astute and relevant essay.It is a good idea to read this alongside A Room of One's Own to get the whole picture of Woolf's argument.

very pleased

I love the book, not easy to read so I recommend taking the time it required

A capa não é a que aparece no anúncio, e com relação a tipografia as letras estão em negrito e bem juntas, ficando muito ruim de ler.

Our defenseless Humanity is living Every Day Hell. Why? Because of an enforced upon us all fascist system called Patriarchy. Under Patriarchy women are nothing, are - a thing - to be abused and exploited.Under patriarchy the average man is only a tiny little bit more important than a woman, but still the man is merely cannon-fodder.For any woman or man who wishes to understands patriarchial psycho-ology, who wishes to broaden her/his understanding of the Abrahamic/patriarchal system, that being Abrahamic-Judaic/Christian/Islamic/and political + scientific patriarchy, the Root-Cause of all man-made war and all man-made misery, will benefit greatly from reading Three Guineas.To fully understand Virginia's work, to see who she really was, that she was a shamamic/druidic priestess, one has to read:The First Sex; When God Was A Woman; Beyond God the Father; Gyn/Ecology; The Great Cosmic Mother.
