Аннотация
This article examines the application of feminist criticism to selected works of Virginia Woolf, highlighting how her writings challenge traditional gender roles and explore the complexities of women’s experiences in early 20th-century society. By analyzing key novels and essays, the study identifies recurring themes such as female identity, social constraints, patriarchal structures, and the pursuit of intellectual and personal freedom. The article emphasizes that Woolf’s narrative techniques, including stream-of-consciousness and experimental forms, serve as tools for subverting conventional literary norms and expressing feminist ideas. The findings suggest that feminist literary criticism provides valuable insights into Woolf’s contributions to literature and the ongoing discourse on gender and society.
