A Room Of One's Own Virginia Woolf
Penguin 0141044888 / 9780141044880 Paperback New
A Room of One's Own grew out of a lecture that Virginia Woolf had been invited to give at Girton College, Cambridge in 1928. Ranging over Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte and why neither of them could have written War and Peace, over the silent fate of Shakespeare's gifted (and imaginary) sister, over the effects of poverty and chastity on female creativity, she gives us one of the greatest feminist polemics of the century.

Orlando: A Biography Virginia Woolf
Penguin 0141184272 / 9780141184272 Paperback New
In 1928 way before everyone else was talking about gender-bending and way way before the terrific movie with Tilda Swinton Virginia Woolf wrote her comic masterpiece a fantastic fanciful love letter disguised as a biography to Vita Sackville-West. Orlando enters the book as an Elizabethan nobleman and leaves the book three centuries and one change of gender later as a liberated woman of the 1920s. Along the way this most rambunctious of Woolf's characters engages in sword fights trades barbs with 18th century wits has a baby and drives a car. This is a deliriously written breathless-making book and a classic both of lesbian literature and the Western canon.
