{"product_id":"virginia-woolf-as-feminist-naomi-black-9780801488771","title":"Virginia Woolf as Feminist: Praying Indians in Colonial America","description":"\u003cp\u003eBefore the Second World War and long before the second wave of feminism, Virginia Woolf argued that women's experience, particularly in the women's movement, could be the basis for transformative social change. Grounding Virginia Woolf's feminist beliefs in the everyday world, Naomi Black reclaims \u003ci\u003eThree Guineas\u003c\/i\u003e as a major feminist document. Rather than a book only about war, Black considers it to be the best, clearest presentation of Woolf's feminism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWoolf's changing representation of feminism in publications from 1920 to 1940 parallels her involvement with the contemporary women's movement (suffragism and its descendants, and the pacifist, working-class Women's Co-operative Guild). Black guides us through Woolf's feminist connections and writings, including her public letters from the 1920s as well as \"A Society,\" \u003ci\u003eA Room of One's Own\u003c\/i\u003e, and the introductory letter to \u003ci\u003eLife As We Have Known It\u003c\/i\u003e. She assesses the lengthy development of\u003ci\u003e Three Guineas\u003c\/i\u003e from a 1931 lecture and the way in which the form and illustrations of the book serve as a feminist subversion of male scholarship. \u003ci\u003eVirginia Woolf as Feminist\u003c\/i\u003e concludes with a discussion of the continuing relevance of Woolf's feminism for third-millennium politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Naomi Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080148877X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801488771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.40w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2004 pg. 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2004 pg. 2042","brand":"Naomi Black","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44449940013311,"sku":"9780801488771","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8ec69d0-6a0f-49b9-97b4-7368feee01e1.jpg?v=1698501863","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/virginia-woolf-as-feminist-naomi-black-9780801488771","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
