Virginia Woolf is often classified as an aesthetic writer. Most of his works play largely on the concept of suggestion. They addressed many social issues, especially those regarding women's problems. Woolf was acutely aware of her identity as a woman and used many writings as outlets for her frustrations. According to his doctrine, the subjugation of women is a central fact of history, a key to most of our social and psychological disorders (Marder 3). The two works I will focus on are A Room of One's Own and "A Society" by Monday or Tuesday. They are both works that challenge the roles of men and women. In A Room of One's Own the narrator begins an exploration of women in literature. It attempts to answer many questions regarding women. The first is because literature about women is written by men. He also criticizes the scholarship of the great men of literature. In the second chapter, the narrator travels to the British Museum in search of answers. While researching, he discovers that women are common subjects in literature. However, none of the publications written about them are written by women. When she reveals her findings for the definition of woman, she uses words like weak, inferior, vain, etc. that define women. I think the narrator uses these words to emphasize how men perceive women as the weaker sex. Then he talks about great men like Mussolini, Pope, Napoleon and Goethe and how they saw women. After discovering their opinions, the narrator is shocked by his findings. These men are praised for their philosophy and wisdom, but all consider women inferior. The narrator highlights the fact that these men are actually quite ignorant. During... the central part of the article... it comes out what chastity is? Poll declares that chastity is nothing but ignorance. It is decided that it is unfair to brand women based on their chastity. I think Woolf raises the issue of chastity to highlight the follies of men. They write dissertations and books on the subject, but seem to have no idea what it is. However, women are able to prove that it is not important. The story ends with the women still questioning the importance of intellect. Works Cited Marder, Herbert.
