She for her. Feminism in modern literature (Virginia Woolf 1882-1941)

Abstract

The aim of this Final Degree Project is to analyze Virginia Woolf’s major critical essay A Room of One’s Own, comparing it to another of her main works Orlando. The unfair position of women in this contemporary society, the importance of their economical independence, the exclusion of working class women and the use of upper classes in literature together with the possible bisexuality of Woolf, are the main points that are going to be developed in this essay.
