Complete 8 pages APA formatted article: Women in Virginia Woolfs Work. There is a dissatisfaction with their lives because of the restrictions that are imposed upon them by the class-bound society within which they live. Hence both these novels suggest that women were forced to exist in a restrictive framework which was unhealthy and constricting.

In assessing Woolf’s work “Mr.s Dalloway” in comparison with the work of James Joyce, Krutch (1925) articulates the view that “Mr.s Woolf prefers to choose her characters from among those who, own an allegiance to good society, have had both their manners and their thoughts disciplined by its conventions”. This may be noted also in Mrs Dalloway, where the background of the party and the events of the day serve as the backdrop for the stream of consciousness thoughts flowing in Mrs Dalloway’s mind, which reveal the pain, dissatisfaction and lack of contentment experienced by the principal character as well as other female characters in the novel, due to the restrictions imposed upon them by society of which men are the rulers.

Men in the story are sometimes portrayed as intrusive elements, that barge into the unfolding relationships and interactions between women. Clarissa Dalloway clearly places more importance on her relationships with other women as opposed to men, because men are the dominant elements in society – aggressive and intrusive. For example, Sally Seton is akin to a maternal figure for Clarissa, despite the fact that they are so close in age. Peter Walsh on the other hand, is the man who used to be in love with Clarissa when she was younger. During the close, intimate moment when Sally Seton kisses Clarissa and Peter Walsh walks in, Mr.s Dalloway describes her feelings of outrage.
