Institut Bisnis Nusantara
This research is to discuss Virginia Woolf's views on gender equality as well as the strengths and
weaknesses of feminist theory. For feminist ideas, Woolf's debut novels A Room of One's Own and
Orlando are crucial works. I'll attempt to focus on Virginia Woolf's book A Room of One's Own,
which is regarded as her most significant work, especially in this study. Virginia Woolf produced
several books and essays regarding gender discrimination. She focused mainly on equality. Woolf
delivered several lectures on women in literature. In 1928, Woolf published Orlando, and in 1929,
she published A Room of One's Own, her first work of feminism. She focused mainly on women and
literature in this book; also, she described the difficulties they had encountered. In Orlando, she
describes the struggle between genders.
