A review by ellie_the_kraken
Three Guineas by Virginia Woolf
2.5
She makes some very good, very informed and thought-out points, but the way she expresses her thoughts are tangential and often hard to follow. She is also very repetitive when it comes to her ideas. Her writing style is difficult for me to enjoy, and it took me a very long time to get through such a short book.
So far, I've only read Virginia's Woolf's essays, so maybe her writing style is more enjoyable in her fiction? I'll have to give some of her stories a try.
But reading this, I can understand why Virginia Woolf's works played such a key role in the feminist movement. She takes great care to lay out interesting and thought-provoking arguments in favour of women playing a more important part in society.
