maditreiber 's review for:

Three Guineas by Virginia Woolf

4.0

---

A very interesting read about the intersection of feminism and pacifist ideals surrounding war in the 1930's. Looking towards contextualization, this essay is given layers of depth when analyzed through the lens of Woolf's personal life, where it becomes clear that the "man" she is writing too is a symbol for male modernity and the authors who ruled it at the time. As someone who was left out of the public sphere of literature because of her gender, Woolf lets her frustration and anger shine through in this piece.
