Answer:

For Vírginia Woolf, Jane Eyer's relevance is related to the character's refusal to submit to the standards that English society intended for women.

Explanation:

Vírginia Woolf defended that the narrative proposed by Charlotte Brontë, in Jane Eyre reports the difficulties that women faced because of the way in which English society defines the role of women, in relation to marriage, to studies, submission to the control of their own voda . Vírginia believes that the relevance of this work is established by Jane's refusal to follow the standards of submission and take care of herself, based on her intellect and not on the protection of a man, or anyone else.

Víginia defends the existence of a character, woman, strong, independent and owner of herself, written in a time of great repression against women.
