Three Guineas (book)

"Three Guineas" is a book by Virginia Woolf, published in 1938. It argues for women's independence, education, and the role of women in society, particularly in the context of war and patriarchal structures. Woolf presents her ideas through a fictional correspondence, addressing how men dominate society and how women can challenge this system. The title refers to a hypothetical donation of three guineas to three different causes—women’s education, anti-war efforts, and the promotion of peace—highlighting her belief that women's perspectives are essential for creating a better world. The work remains influential in feminist literature.
