In this influential work of non fiction, Virginia Woolf outlines what women need to fully make use of their abilities. Published beautifully by Everyman's Library, this edition is printed on acid-free, cream-wove paper, with full-cloth cases, gold foil stamping, decorative endpapers, and a silk ribbon marker.

A Contemporary Classics hardcover edition of Virginia Woolf’s classic plea for a
world in which women are free to use their gifts. In this influential extended essay and using powerful images and memorable thought experiments -such as a fictional sister of William Shakespeare, who is as talented as her brother but limited in ways he was not -Woolf analyses the many ways in which women have been held back throughout history and still are in her own time.
