Keywords:
Virginia Woolf , Mrs. Dalloway , A Room of One's Own , gender, feminism, female imageAbstract
This article analyzes the gender aspect in Virginia Woolf's works Mrs. Dalloway and A Room of One's Own . Key elements of the writer's feminist concept are considered, including the problem of women's social and intellectual dependence, the limitations of their rights and opportunities in a patriarchal society. Particular attention is paid to the artistic images of Clarissa Dalloway , Elizabeth, Miss Kilman , as well as male characters, through which gender stereotypes and power asymmetries are revealed. The use of the "stream of consciousness" method as a means of conveying the inner world of the heroines and their psychological experiences is analyzed. It is concluded that Woolf is creating a new type of female character - independent, thinking, and striving for spiritual freedom. The significance of the idea of a "room of one's own" as a symbol of a woman's creative and personal independence is emphasized.
