Women Seeing the World through a Different Lens in Three Guineas and Th
At the time Virginia Woolf wrote The Years and triplet Guineas, in that respect were many differences between men and women, one of which was education. Most women were not enlightened, which prevented them from move into into agency. Women allowed themselves to be played by history. In order for them to change a world that was dominated by men, women needed to refuse what history tell was their essence, and rather, use that essence to create critical shipway of being in the world. The photograph, a crudely colored photograph--of your world as it appears to us who read it from the threshold of the private house finished the shadow of the veil that St. capital of Minnesota still lays upon your eyes from the bridge which connects the private house with the world of exoteric life, must be taken from a antithetic perspective, (Three Guineas 18). In Three Guineas, Woolf shows her readers how women were enslaved by men, why it was so important that women receive an education, and the different slipway in which women could envision into agency in order to change a world that was dominated by men. In Three Guineas, Woolf describes all of the ways in which women were being enslaved by men. There were many differences among men and women, which deprive women of their freedom. At this time, there was a power imbalance men were superior and women were not valued by society. Many doors were still locked for women. Men had been educated for five or six hundred years, while women, only sixty. yet though both sexes contributed to university funds, the number of women who were allowed an education was extremely limited. Though we decide the same world, we see it through different eyes, (Three Guineas 18). Men were taught to think and suffice through tradition. They wer... ...en how they were being enslaved by men, explained the importance of an education, and proposed ways in which women could enter into agency in order to change a world that wa s dominated by men. Women should strive, to assert the rights of all--all men and women--to respect in their persons of the great principles of justness and Equality and Liberty, (Three Guineas 143). Women must look at the whole picture and burn off the old photograph, the crudely colored photograph, and retake the picture from a different angle, from the angle of a world that let the light into the private house. satisfy the picture from the perspective of an educated woman, an educated woman looking through a different lens than she had before.
