Number 40 of 100 copies signed by Woolf, reserved for sale in Great Britain, from a total edition of 450.'Virginia Woolf entered the political arena with A Room of Ones Own (1929). It originated as two papers read to women undergraduates in the Arts Society at Newnham College and the ODTAA Society at Girton College, Cambridge, in October 1928. The aim was to establish a woman's tradition, recognizable through its distinct problems: the age-old confinement of women to the domestic sphere, the pressures of conformity to patriarchal ideas, and worst, the denial of income and privacy ('a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write'). A brief history of women's writing tries to prove that their works were deformed by inward strife-not convincingly when we are pressed to agree that Jane Eyre is flawed by its author's protest against the limitations imposed upon women. On the other hand, Virginia Woolf is brilliantly persuasive when she ridicules the power bias of male history narrowing in on war and kings with golden teapots on their heads. A counter-history waits in the wings: the untried potentialities of women, nurtured but unspoilt in women's colleges, who are not to be imitation men but are to think back 'through their mothers'. Virginia Woolf wants to retrieve rather than discard the traditions of womanhood, a position forecast in 1906 at the outset of her career with a historical story, 'The Journal of Mistress Joan Martyn', set during the fifteenth-century Wars of the Roses. It suggests that women excluded from historical record were the true makers of England as they passed their unnoticed code of preservation from mother to daughter, cultivating domestic order and the arts of peace, as opposed to militarized thugs who repeatedly destroyed it.' (Lyndall Gordon, Oxford DNB). Tall 8vo (240 × 145 mm), pp. [8], 159, [3]. Original deep red cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Unopened after p. 27. Author's signature in purple ink to half-title. Spine slightly sunned and very slightly rolled at head and foot but otherwise a fine copy. [Kirkpatrick A12a.].

Hardcover. First Edition. This edition preceded the English edition (both trade and signed) by three days. Original cinnamon cloth. One of only 492 copies SIGNED by the author (this copy marked "out of series" instead of numbered and belonged to the Yale University Press printer Carl Rollins) of this important and desirable title, a compelling essay on women and writing that has become a classic feminist text. "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction," said Woolf, "and that, as you will see, leaves the great problem of the true nature of woman and the true nature of fiction unsolved." Spine is mildly sunned; gilt strong. Near Fine.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. No Jacket. Limited Edition. One of 492 copies SIGNED. Bound in publisher's original cloth burgundy boards. No interior markings but for the author's signature in her characteristic purple ink on the half-title page. As stated in the Colophon: "Of this book, four hundred and ninety copies, of which four hundred fifty are for sale, have been printed by Robert S. Josephs, in October 1929. Distributed in America by Random House, and in Great Britain by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at The Hogarth Press, London. Each copy signed by the author. Numbers one to one hundred inclusive are reserved for Great Britain. This is number 159." Possibly the [noted rare book collector] Frank Altschul copy (550 Park Avenue, New York City); envelope addressed to him from the [noted New York binder] James Macdonald Company found in volume. Altshul was a noted investment banker. His papers are housed at Columbia University. He was also involved in the founding of the Beinecke Rare Book Library at Yale. Altschul was the founder of The Overbrook Press, founded in 1934 in Stamford, Connecticut. Altschul initially pursued printing as a hobby, experimenting with a small press in his New York apartment. In 1934, he was approached by designer Margaret B. Evans, who had been working for Ashlar Press. Ashlar was closing, and Evans hoped Altschul would continue its work. Altschul set up the press in converted outbuildings on his Stamford farm and hired Evans as designer and compositor and John MacNamara as pressman. The Overbrook Press went on to print an eclectic variety of books and pamphlets, as well as ephemera such as awards and certificates. His most ambitious project was an edition of Prevost's Manon Lescaut, for which he created elaborate silk-screened illustrations. The volume, which was published in 1958 after six years of work, is considered one of the highest quality private press books of the time. This example of A Room of One's Own was acquired at an auction containing Overbrook books, ephemera and effects pertaining to his granddaughter Katherine Graham. Signed by Author(s).
