Virginia Woolf, one of the greatest novelists of the 20th century, wrote many articles, essays, critiques, and texts on art and literature.

This volume gathers some of her most important writings on the topics that occupied her during the creative period of her life: feminism, social equality, politics, the value of books, breaking with tradition, and the relationship between art, politics, and humanity.

“Virginia Woolf was particularly concerned with the ‘female experience’… the need to redefine female identity and the uniqueness of ‘female expression’. Through her writings, she presents a sparkling spirit that comments not only on the woes of her time but also addresses us as a contemporary. If we ‘listen’ to her carefully, she may provide answers to long-standing dilemmas and difficult problems that continue to trouble us.” From the foreword by Argyro Mantoglou
