Three Guineas

Three Guineas is a book-length essay by Virginia Woolf, published in June 1938.

Although Three Guineas is a work of non-fiction, it was initially conceived as a "novel-essay" which would tie up the loose ends left in her earlier work, A Room of One's Own. The book was to alternate between fictive narrative chapters and non-fiction essay chapters, demonstrating Woolf's views on war and women in both types of writing at once. This unfinished manuscript was published in 1937 as The Pargiters.

When Woolf realised the idea of a "novel-essay" wasn't working, she separated the two parts. The non-fiction portion became Three Guineas. The fiction portion became Woolf's most popular novel during her lifetime, The Years, which charts social change from 1880 to the time of publication through the lives of the Pargiter family. It was so popular, in fact, that pocket-sized editions of the novel were published for soldiers as leisure reading during World War II.

The entire essay is structured as a response to an educated gentleman who has written a letter asking Woolf to join his efforts to help prevent war.

Woolf wrote the essay to answer three questions, each from a different society:

1. From an anti-war society: "How should war be prevented?"

2. From a women's college building fund: "Why does the government not support education for women?" (Actually, the fund was a metaphor for family private funds to send the "boys of the family" to college and not the women.)

3. From a society promoting employment of professional women: "Why are women not allowed to engage in professional work?"

Adeline Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English author, essayist, publisher, and writer of short stories, regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century.

During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group.

Her most famous works include the novels Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."

    Virginia Woolf

    Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) växte upp i en bildad övre medelklassfamilj med fyra halv- och tre helsyskon, av vilka systern Vanessa (sedermera berömd konstnär, gift Bell) förblev hennes nära vän livet ut. Woolf och systrarna fick ingen formell utbildning utan undervisades av fadern i hemmet. År 1912 gifte hon sig med Leonard Woolf och tillsammans startade de det Londonbaserade förlaget Hogarth Press 1917, där Woolfs böcker och flera betydande verk av unga samtida författare kom att publiceras. Förutom makarna Woolf hörde bland andra Victoria Sackville-West, Lytton Strachey, E.M. Forster och ekonomen John Maynard Keynes till Bloomsburygruppen. I denna krets diskuterades samtidens mest aktuella tankegångar inom olika ämnen och bland annat tog gruppen kritisk ställning mot det senviktorianska Englands konventioner och levnadssätt. Dessa diskussioner kom att sätta spår i Woolfs författarskap som kom att bli ett av de viktigaste under 1900-talet. Vid ett flertal tillfällen vårdades Woolf för psykisk ohälsa och 1941, på höjden av sin litterära karriär, begick hon självmord.
