"Three Guineas is written as a series of letters in which Virginia Woolf ponders the efficacy of donating to various causes to prevent war. In reflecting on her situation as the "daughter of an educated man" in 1930s England, Woolf challenges liberal orthodoxies and marshals vast research to make discomforting and still-challenging arguments about the relationship between gender and violence, and about the pieties of those who fail to see their complicity in war-making. This pacifist-feminist essay is a classic whose message resonates loudly in our contemporary global situation."
"In response to three requests for donations (to a peace society; to a woman's college rebuilding fund; to a society for obtaining employment for professional women) the author proposes that "the daughters of educated men" unite in opposition to man-made war."@en

"A response to an educated gentleman's request for her opinion on how to prevent the looming conflict that would become the Second World War, Three Guineas imparts Virginia Woolf's perspective on how to avoid another armed conflict. Using a question and answer format, Woolf responds to the gentleman's request by addressing three main questions: how can war be prevented' why is education for women so poorly supported' and why are women discouraged from pursuing professional careers' Three Guineas was initially written as a novel-essay that would resolve some of the loose ends from A Room of One's Own, however, when it became clear that the structure of the work was problematic, Woolf separated the two elements, producing the novel The Years, and the non-fiction Three Guineas. HarperTorch brings great works of non-fiction and the dramatic arts to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.
