Clara Jones re-reads Woolf's fiction and non-fiction in light of
her examination of the details of Woolf's involvement with Morley
College, the People's Suffrage Federation, the Women's Co-operative
Guild and the National Federation of Women's Institutes. Drawing on
extensive archival research into these organisations, Jones also
positions Woolf's activism with regard to the institutional
contexts in which she worked. Virginia Woolf: Ambivalent Activist
demonstrates the degree to which Woolf was sensitive to the
internal politics and conflicts of the bodies she was associated
with and the ways in which she interrogated her ambivalent
attitudes towards her activism throughout her literary career.
Focusing on texts that represent the range of Woolf's literary
output, this book includes essays, unpublished sketches, Woolf's
social realist 1919 novel Night and Day, and her final, visionary
novel Between the Acts. This approach to Woolf's writing takes an
integrated view, incorporating her juvenilia and foregrounding
Woolf's critically neglected early novels. Rather than offering
readings of Woolf's well-known 'political' works, Jones instead
uncovers the unexpected ways in which Woolf's activism made its way
into unlikely texts.
