Rhetorical analysis of feminist critics' references to Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf wrote both prose and poetry, both fiction and non-fiction: she was
both a creative writer and a politically conscious reporter. She left a wealth of beautifully
crafted observations and comments that continue to be immensely quotable and influential.
Feminist critics today use Woolf's vocabulary to continue the feminist conversation which
she entered early in her life and consistently influenced as long as she lived and wrote. My
purpose in this essay is to identify some of the ways in which feminists strategically use
references to Virginia Woolf and A Room of One's Own to empower their own perspective
or to develop legitimacy for their own knowledge and discourse. / Graduation date: 1992
