Womens Position in Society in Virginia Woolfs A Room of Ones Own Ess

Womens Position in confederation in Virginia Woolfs A Room of Ones giveThe passage at the stopping point of the Third Chapter in A Room of Ones Own by Virginia Woolf deals with two major themes of this essay. The first being the ways in which women were kept down and made inferior to men, and the second being how this touch womens writing. Woolf asserts that women were made inferior as a direct dissolving agent of mens perceived transcendence. This assertment provides a new way of mentation round womens lower position in society and the later(prenominal) low tactile sensation men held of women and their capabilties as writers. Woolf firmly believes that it is the prerogative of only writers to pay great heed to what is thought of them and to suffer when that opinion is negative. Because the opinion of womens writing was negative, women could not write freely. Their minds, Woolf believes, were clouded with agendas. They had something to prove or a grudge to vindicat e. This is not the ideal situation for writing, or the neat environment for genius. Therefore, through her revolutionary way of examining womens position in society, Woolf proves that the masculine complicated and low expectations of women impeded upon their writing process. One major theme this essay illuminates is that of what subordinated women and how that inferiority was maintained. Woolf states, Even in the nineteenth ampere-second a woman was not encouraged to be an artist (55). In fact she was discouraged and made to believe such a job was beyond her capabilities. Here Woolf turns the issue around showing that women did not consciously choose not to become writers, but were prodded not to write by men. Woolf speculates about the affects of this discouragement saying... ...ganized the traditional way of examining womens position in society and its affect on their art. Her concept of the masculine complex approaches gender relations from a totally differe nt angle. It is male superiority not female inferiority, which perpetuates this system. Mens dominance is strong and their foe to the womens movement was so effective that even strong willed women were humbled. Women were shape up hindered by the prevailing male sentiment that they were incompetent writers. This naturally open fire womens incentive to prove their capabilities, because all artists are concerned about what others think of them. Yet, this very situation inhibits creativity and continued to prevent women from stint their full potential. This new line of thinking explains and reexamines the forces that held women down and separated them from their genius.
