Abstract
Mainly through the study on Virginia Woolf’s Feminism in her A Room of One’s Own, this thesis analyzes the roots of Virginia Woolf’s Feminism and her feminist views. As Virginia Woolf says in A Room of One’s Own, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction" (Virginia, 1929: 56), only if a woman is aware of the fact that she has been alienated and she has her own material and spiritual space can she realize the equal and harmonious intersexual relationship, and create a really free female world.
Key words: Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own, Feminism
