Liberty

Why should one part of humanity enjoy freedom, while the other watches silently from the sidelines? In this visionary collection, Virginia Woolf takes us on a transformative journey, exploring the liberating capacities of the mind. She delves into why women were historically excluded from the literary world and examines the circumstances under which they could finally find their voice. Additionally, the sense of freedom found in wandering through the streets of London is vividly captured. Through these essays and stories, Woolf passionately portrays the quest for freedom as one of life's most poetic adventures. This selection comprises excerpts from A Room of One’s Own, The Waves, and Street Haunting and Other Essays by Virginia Woolf. VINTAGE MINIS: GREAT MINDS. BIG IDEAS. LITTLE BOOKS.
