Three Guineas
by Virginia Woolf
The Three Guineas were written as a series of letters in which Wolfe pondered the effectiveness of donations for various reasons to prevent war. Reflecting on her status as "the daughter of an educated man" in 1930s England, Woolf challenges liberal orthodox and marshals with extensive research to make disturbing and still complex arguments about the link between gender and violence. This pacifist-feminist essay is a classic whose message echoes loudly in our current global situation.
