Distressed by the unsatisfactory quality of theliterature itself, she shares her woes with a group of female friends. Thewomen decide that they all must seek out knowledge for themselves, visitingsome of England's most iconic landmarks. A commentary on war, art, and thesocietal roles of men and women, "A Society" offers a brief but penetratingglimpse into Woolf's literary genius.
