Abstract
A look at the works of Virginia Woolf and her treatment of the marriage plot. She advocates for autonomy and education in a “Room of One’s Own” but many times does not give that option to her protagonists. I looked at other female authors such as Bronte, Austen, Shelley, L.M. Montgomery, Chopin, Morrison, and the autonomy they give their female protagonists. I explain the historical and personal context of Woolf’s work and what may have influenced her.
