Abstract:Virginia Woolf, a well-known English woman writer, whose contribution to modern literature mainly lies in her works of stream of consciousness and critic essays such as To the Lighthouse and Women and Fiction, is more famous as a feminist writer, however. Her challenges to patriarchal values and ways of seeing and expressing the world and the self set a model for other women’s challenges, both in literature and in life. Furthermore, women critics have used Woolf’s work as that of a literary foremother since the 1970s.
To the Lighthouse is one of Virginia Woolf’s classic works that represents “Androgyny”. It has enjoyed great popularity since its publish in 1927. In To the Lighthouse, Woolf conveys her unique feminist ideology through lots of imagery, specially focuses on Mrs Ramsay and the female painter Lilly Briscoe’s perspective. Through the description of their psychological activities, Woolf depicts not only the characters of women, but also the pursuit of “Androgyny” under the dilemma of freeing from the oppression from men and seeking the independence of women.

摘要:弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫是英国现代意识流小说家和女权运动先驱。作为公认的女权主义先驱者，伍尔夫认为，女性并不比男性差，在某些方面甚至超过男性，所以女性应该摆脱男性的压迫，充分认识到自己的价值，并实现自己的价值。但这并不意味着就要彻底否定男性特征，最好的做法就是把男性和女性的特征恰当地结合在一起，即“双性同体”，也叫“雌雄同体”。
《到灯塔去》是弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫表达“双性同体”思想的经典作品。这部作品自1927年问世以后一直深受欢迎。在《到灯塔去》中，伍尔夫通过大量意象传达了自己的女性主义思想。其中以拉姆齐夫人和女画家丽莉·布里斯科的视角最为重要，伍尔夫通过对她们心理活动的描述展示了女性的双重性格，同时也展示了作者在摆脱男性压迫和寻求妇女独立的两难境况下对“双性同体”的追求。
