An Appraisal of the Feminist Concerns of Virginia Woolf with Special Reference to Her Essay - A Room Of One’s Own
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Virginia Woolf, besides being a prolific writer, was also the pioneer of the feminist movement in England during the 19th and 20th centuries. She wrote extensively in a variety of genres, which included fiction, literary reviews, critical essays, short sketches, biographies, feminist items and also maintained her regular diary. In her writings she frequently gave vent to her pain and anguish against the male dominated Victorian society to which she herself belonged, alleging that it treated women harshly and subjected them to various kinds of oppression and victimization. It deprived them of their basic rights in the society, wherefore they could not go to school, move freely at public places, eat their meals in hotels and restaurants, choose their life partners, or join profession of their choice, etc. She, however, thought that it was only by achieving economic independence that women could get rid of all their problems. In the light of the above the present paper seeks to examine critically the feminist concerns of Virginia Woolf, quoting references particularly from her essay, A Room of One’s Own.
