Virginia Woolf's life experiences significantly shaped her feminist philosophy. Growing up in a literary family, she was exposed to progressive ideas, yet faced societal limitations imposed on women. The trauma of losing her mother at a young age and the mental illness that affected her family influenced her understanding of gender roles and personal identity. Woolf's participation in the Bloomsbury Group provided a space for creative thought, challenging traditional norms. Her essay, "A Room of One’s Own," embodied the struggle for women’s independence and intellectual freedom, arguing that financial security is essential for female authors. These elements forged her commitment to women’s rights.
