Rural Hours
The Country Lives of Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Townsend Warner and Rosamond LehmannAn outstanding piece of literary scholarship ... A biography that is far more intimate than most ... By choosing to embrace the daily routines of rural life, Baker proposes, these women found that the quality of their attention shifted ... Rural Hours is also a provocation to the present. No one could finish this book without concluding that the most important thing to any writer is solitude ... [It] reminds us that today we too often fail to afford our writers this necessity

A Room of One's Own
"A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."In this iconic and revolutionary essay, Virginia Woolf explores the silence of women in history and the systemic barriers that have stifled female creativity for centuries. Based on two lectures given at Cambridge University in 1928, A Room of One's Own is a sharp-witted and profound examination of the link between financial independence and intellectual freedom.Through the tragic figure of Judith Shakespeare who is the imagined, equally gifted sister of William Shakespeare, Woolf illustrates how poverty and social constraints have historically denied women the chance to become great artists. From the exclusionary dining halls of "Oxbridge" to the concept of the androgynous mind, Woolf's writing remains as vital and provocative today as it was nearly a century ago.Part detective story, part feminist manifesto, this modernist masterpiece is an essential call to arms for anyone seeking to understand the material conditions necessary for true creative genius.
