About this listen
"We have to search for the truth. What is the use of bringing children into a world that is not worth living in?" In this sharp, experimental satire, Virginia Woolf explores the gap between male reputation and reality. A group of women, disillusioned by the supposed "greatness" of the world, form a society to investigate the pillars of civilization. They infiltrate the Navy, the Universities, and the Royal Academy to see if the work men do is truly "good" or merely "honorable." What begins as a witty, rebellious quest for knowledge evolves into a profound and unsettling revelation. Virginia Woolf’s "A Society" is not just a takedown of the patriarchy - it is a masterful exploration of the weight of truth, the burden of education, and the courage required to look at the world as it actually is. The quest for truth is never finished. Step into the secret meeting of "A Society" and decide for yourself: Is the world worth living in?
