Simply special. She was a great woman

ABSOLUTELY. I love this book. Have taught it to senior high school students, and absolutely adore it.

I studied this for my degree and loved it.

I recommend Mrs. Dalloway for anyone who would like a novel by Woolf; and of course anything by Edith Wharton for more novels with similar themes.

Thank you so much for your advices! :D

YES! Love this book so much

Who agrees with Virginia Woolf?

I loved this book it had a huge influence on me.

Thank you for this topic. I'm looking for her book

I can't say if I like her books even after i read them... I know that she seems to make a revolution with her books and explaining hard things that only women can live. But, I don't know. It always give us this sad image of women, who are tortured psychologically, who can't find there place in the society, who are kind of hysteric..
I don't like this kind of image, "crazy-women-image". What do you think ?

Kelsey I love the way you think! Completely agree and thank you everyone for liking my topic :D

Sophie, Kelsey, I concur, The Yellow Wallpaper is fab!
Also, If you like Jane Eyre, I recommend essays about Mr Rochester's first wife, often referred to as 'the mad woman in the attic' and Wide Sargasso Sea. They all deal with the repressed woman and how she is represented in literature as 'mad'.
