Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine Virginia Woolf’s contribution to the feminist question in her selected novels: Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927). The study shows how Mrs. Woolf employed her novels to show women the way to obtain meaning in life and realize their identities. Virginia Woolf established herself as a distinguished feminist woman writer in her treatment of women’s helpless situation. She unveiled the causes of women’s oppression and provided us with a comprehensive answer for the women’s question.

Keywords: Woolf, feminism, To the lighthouse, Mrs. Dalloway, oppression
