Three Guineas
A man asked Woolf how to prevent war. Her 1938 answer ties it to the education and employment of women, and proposes a Society of Outsiders.
Woolf’s 1938 answer to a man asking how to prevent war: that the question cannot be separated from the education and employment of women, and that the daughters of educated men should form a Society of Outsiders. Angrier and stranger than A Room of One’s Own, and much less read.

Why do so few people talk about this piece? It is Woolf writing on feminization and the prevention of war. The argument is dense, and I will give it a reread.
