Three guineas

Published in June 1938, *Three Guineas* is a non-fiction essay that responds to an imaginary letter from an educated gentleman asking for Woolf's opinion on how to prevent war.

The essay is structured as a series of responses to three different societal questions, addressing issues such as the prevention of war, the lack of support for women's education, and the barriers to women's professional employment.

Woolf critiques societal norms, patriarchal systems, and the role of women in society, advocating for gender equality and the eradication of war.

The book is characterized by its dialogue format and Woolf's pessimistic yet hopeful views on societal progression towards gender equality.
