Virginia Woolf: Great Women Thinkers offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to the foundations, development, and influence of Virginia Woolf's philosophy of "moments of being" across her writing life.

Considering her work across novels, essays, reviews, diaries, and letters - from early writing to the posthumous final novel - the book shows how Woolf's thinking was shaped by feminism, socialism, and pacifism. It foregrounds A Room of One's Own to trace her ideas on women's rights, education, and poverty; situates her within the Bloomsbury Group and wider philosophical networks; and devotes a substantial final section to political thought, including "A Society", Three Guineas, and "Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid", establishing Woolf as a philosopher and public intellectual.

Key themes include:

• "moments of being" as a philosophical concept

• feminism, socialism, and pacifism

• anti-war and anti-fascist political thought

• peace, violence, and public intellectual engagement

Virginia Woolf: Great Women Thinkers is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students in Woolf Studies, Feminist Theory, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Modernism, Philosophy, and Peace Studies, as well as readers across the humanities and social sciences.
