Abstract

This paper aims to analyze Virginia Woolf’s essay Three Guineas from a feminist literary criticism perspective in order to understand how the meaning of Virginia Woolf’s text has been reconstructed in the last decades. It will be investigated how the current feminist literary criticism has revisited and reread her works and as Woolf herself has been reinvented by such criticism. In order to do so, the theoretical framework will concentrate on authors such as Naomi Black, Barbara Hill Rigney, Krista Ratcliffe, Teresa Winterhalter among others.
