Why should one half be free to live, while the other is doomed to watch silently from the sidelines? In this visionary collection, Virginia Woolf leads us on a transformative journey through the liberating powers of the mind. From an exploration of why women were barred from writing and under what conditions they might break free, to the solace derived from haunting Londons streets, these essays and stories present Woolf at her most impassioned, rendering the pursuit of liberty one of lifes most poetic adventures.

Selected from the books A Room of Ones Own, The Waves and Street Haunting and Other Essays by Virginia Woolf
