Celebrate a vital work of feminism with this limited run special edition featuring the original cover created by Virginia Woolf''s sister, Vanessa Bell, and the original text first published by The Hogarth Press. This book is among the greatest contributions to feminist literature of the past century - a brilliant attack on sexual inequality. A Room of One''s Own is a witty, urbane and persuasive argument against the intellectual subjection of women, particularly women writers. The sequel, Three Guineas , is a passionate polemic which draws a startling comparison between the tyrannous hypocrisy of the Victorian patriarchal system and the evils of fascism. ''Brilliant interweaving of personal experience, imaginative musing and political clarity'' Kate Mosse ''Achingly relevant'' Natasha Walter, Guardian WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY HERMIONE LEE
