I would say that some of the most important aspects of
Woolf's work would center on the idea that there can be multiple interpretations on
truth. The idea of reconfiguring history and literature through a gender related lens
was radical for its time period. The common assumption of multiple angles of
perception, as well as the validation of narrative, voice, and experience become
critically important in Woolf's work. The aspect of being able to define a "room of
one's own" for women away from the socially constructed definition of gender is not only
remarkable in its assertion for the time, but also empowering in that it validates the
experiences of women at the time and represents a benchmark in feminist
thought.
