Challenges and Limitations of Women Writers in the Early 20th Century: Examples from Works of Virginia Woolf and Rosamond Lehmann
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper describing the challenges and limitations faced by women writers in the early 20th century. Women writers of the late 19th and early 20th century were faced with many limitations and challenges in completing their work. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) does a great deal to explain the challenges and roles of women writers within her work “A Room of One’s Own” in which she gives first hand observations of limitations imposed upon past, present and future women writers. In addition to these observations by Woolf, characters within her works such as those found in “To the Lighthouse” also reveal the constant struggle and conflict women must overcome to obtain their own identity. Other women writers during this time, such as Rosamond Lehmann (1901-1990) also demonstrate the frustrations found within the professional woman in defining her role. Lehmann’s character of Olivia Curtis in her works “Invitation to the Waltz” and “The Weather in the Streets” also reveal the author’s own feelings about the pre-defined roles of women in society and the challenges women face overcoming or dealing with these roles in order to meet their artistic, professional or emotional needs.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman/An Example of Heroism
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page research paper that argues that Gilman's life constitutes an example of heroism. Heroism is often equated with fighting in battle. While this is certainly brave, the soldier receives tremendous societal reinforcement and approval for such bravery. Heroism is also shown by those who go against the dictums of society and face social rejection and ostracism. It takes intense bravery and is extremely heroic to stand against societal mores and concepts that are widely accepted and say "This is wrong." In the nineteenth century, Charlotte Perkins Gilman took a stand diametrically opposed to the way in which women were treated during the Victorian era. Bibliography lists 1 source.
