In this masterful fusion of personal reflection, imaginative contemplation, and political acuity, Virginia Woolf lays bare the centuries-old prejudices and limitations that have stifled women writers. With razor-sharp wit and compelling logic, she advocates for a more equitable literary landscape.
This volume unites two seminal works that have profoundly shaped feminist discourse. Together, they form a formidable challenge to gender inequality in the literary world and beyond.
A Room of One's Own, first published in 1929, presents a captivating and urbane argument against the intellectual subjugation of women, with a particular focus on women writers. Its companion piece, Three Guineas, is a fervent polemic that draws a striking parallel between the oppressive hypocrisy of Victorian patriarchy and the horrors of fascism.
Introduced by the esteemed Hermione Lee, this Vintage Classics edition offers readers a chance to delve into Woolf's incisive and enduring exploration of gender, creativity, and societal constraints.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
