Virginia Woolf’s concern with feminist thematic are dominant in A ROOM OF ONE’S OWN (1929). Woolf examined the obstacles and prejudices that have hindered women writers. She separated women as objects of representation and women as authors of representation, and argued that a change in the forms of literature was necessary because most literature had been “made by men out of their own needs for their own uses.” Woolf developed innovative literary techniques in order to reveal women’s experience and find an alternative to the male-dominated views of reality.Woolf’s reputation declined after World War II, but her eminence was re-established with the surge of Feminist criticism in the 1970s. Perhaps a mind that is purely masculine cannot create, any more than a mind that is purely feminine…” THREE GUINEAS (1938) I choose Virginia Woolf because it urge women to make a claim for their own history and literature. For centuries man had the power and right to tell a story and women let that be so but Woolf told women that man are not the only ones who can have that right.
