Virginia Woolf's works challenged traditional gender roles through her innovative narrative techniques and exploration of female identity. Her writings, particularly in novels like "Mrs. Dalloway" and "To the Lighthouse," delved into the inner lives of women, addressing their struggles within a patriarchal society. Woolf's stream-of-consciousness style offered readers a glimpse into her characters' thoughts and emotions, reflecting the complexities of women’s experiences. She also explored themes of mental health and creativity, advocating for women's independence and intellectual freedom. Her literary contributions remain foundational in feminist literature and the quest for gender equality.
