Virginia Woolf’s life reflected the struggles of women in literature during her time. Facing personal challenges, including mental health issues and societal expectations, she became acutely aware of the limitations imposed on women. Woolf's feminist views are articulated in her essays, such as "A Room of One's Own," advocating for women’s financial independence and creative freedom. Her pioneering narrative style and exploration of female experiences in works like "Mrs. Dalloway" and "To the Lighthouse" challenged established norms, making her a significant figure in the modernist literary movement.
