In her papers, she describes the state of women in 20th century Britain and how society views them. Two major things that she notes are the widespread oppression of women by society due to men and also using women to heighten their own selfworth. She goes further to state that not only have women been oppressed in 20th century Britain, but throughout history and due to this subjugation, women have been stuck at the bottom of the social hierarchy unable to achieve equal rights of men. Most importantly, the harsh reality that Woolf’s sentiments still remain true today in the harsh regime of
