Abstract

The social reality that men and women are treated unequally was found everywhere in English. The word”sexism” was coined in the feminist movement in America in the 1970s. There is a lot of sexism in the world even when it comes to kids toys. Virginia Woolf is one of the most outstanding writers, theoreticians and critics of 20th century. Being considered as the founder of the modern Stream of Consciousness, she is also a pioneer of the western feminist movement. Mrs. Dalloway is considered as the representative works of Virginia Woolf in which her technique of stream-of-consciousness has reached its peak. The novel also embodies her distinctive and unbreakable feminist perspectives, as well as the emergence of the feminist consciousness.

Key words: women; “Mrs. Dalloway”; feminism; Woolf
