AB Virginia Woolf is considered as one of the most notorious modernist writers, as well asa leading figure, of feminism in 20th century literature. Her work Mrs. Dalloway (1925)incorporates some of the basic concerns of feminism such as the dichotomy of social spheres, the patriarchal authority established in marriage or sexism. The aim of this essay is to explore Virginia Woolf’s point of view on these aspects by analyzing the distinctive representation of men and women in Mrs. Dalloway. However, the analysis proves that despite the fact that in some cases the opposition between the sexes is clearly emphasized, in the majority of the cases, they behaved similarly as a result of the significant influence they received from the general conventions of their patriarchal society. Nevertheless, the analysis highlights some instances of feminist characters who managed to live against the standards of their society.
