Synopsis
Three requests for a guinea--from a women's college fund, a society for professional women, and a group attempting to prevent war and protect intellectual liberty--prompted this answer to all three requests, which evolved into a statement of feminine purpose and an impassioned pacifist protest against war.

Industry Reviews
"Virginia Woolf writes in the great tradition of English prose; and that tradition finds perhaps in the very individuality of her style the greatest modern avatar. It is in line with that tradition, too, that her writing's incandescence should be of passionate conviction as well as of intellect and that it should cast its light fearlessly upon a grave and inclusive problem, the gravest problem in modern life."
New York Times Book Review - Katherine Woods (08/28/1938)
"The woman who savored a vision of freedom in A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN uses THREE GUINEAS to expose without mercy the wounds bondage inflicts. The irony in the first book charms as it stings. The irony in the second is toxic."
Jefferson
"It is not often that the notes at the end of a book are more interesting than the text, but the 60 pages of them in Mrs. Woolf's THREE GUINEAS are, I think, the most readable, the most pointed part of her book. The pill comes first...and the jam follows. It was an austere decision to segregate those lively illustrative anecdotes, queer fragments of argument, history, and sociology, and leave no oasis for the eye's journey across the main theses."
Christian Science Monitor - V. S. Pritchett (06/29/1938)
