How does Virginia Woolf write about women in her great novel, Mrs Dalloway? How sympathetic is the book to Clarissa, the central character, and how much does it mock her? What do these conflicting pressures mean?
Join Dr Trudi Tate as she explores how Woolf portrays the other women in the novel: Clarissa’s daughter Elizabeth, Miss Kilman, Rezia, and the servant, Lucy; and find out how Woolf imagines relations between women, and women’s place in the changing world of 1923.
