Hi Randy, well I think she had conflicting feelings and thoughts – on the one hand she seems to admire Mrs. Ramsey, but she also took the reader into Mrs. Ramsey’s mind and we get to see the toll her role takes
– but Woolf was never comfortable with the role expected of Victorian women – women were not recognized as being talented individuals in their own right. As an artist with a rich interior life, Woolf dedicated herself to her art and women then just didn’t get credit or support for taking that path…Best, Kartika
