A never-ending analysis on women's economic, social, and artistic places in a patriarchal society. Woolf uses her trademark witty dialogue and unparalleled understanding of feminism to craft a work that is both extremely dense with information, and light on the reader's mind.
Posing questions that nobody dares to ask, Woolf confronts her own sex's abilities when it comes to creating art while facing an angered world. Cutting-edge arguments, wonderful pacing (even when giving a lecture or describing a Manx cat), and glorious word usage are what's come to be expected from Virginia Woolf's works, and this one does not disappoint.
