In “A Room of One`s Own” and “Three Guineas”, Virginia Woolf considers with energy and wit the implications of the historical exclusion of women from education and from economic independence. In “A Room of On`s Own” (1929), she examines the work of past women writers, and looks ahead to a time when women`s creativity will not be hampered by poverty, or by oppression. In “Three Guineas” (1938), however, Woolf argues that women`s historical exclusion offers them the chance to form a political and cultural identity which could challenge the drive towards fascism and war.
