Question

Which statement best explains the historical contradiction about women that Woolf describes?

Answer 1

Answer:

b. woman were powerful in stories yet considered property of their husbands in reality  

Explanation:

Virginia Woolf was deeply committed to an aesthetic that emphasized the purity of the work of art, without forgetting social problems. She advocated the idea that female submission was the cause of social and psychological disorders throughout Western history. For this reason, his works show powerful women, but still considered property of their husbands.

Feminism in Virginia Woolf's work should not be narrowly understood, but limited only to the defense of women's rights. It must, however, be understood in the broad sense, as the fruit of a worldview that enriches its fiction, because it is a social and also a psychological metaphor.
