Men - Mrs. Dalloway I

". . .there was a tap at the door. Could it be Sir William Bradshaw? Had he sent already?" (Woolf 144).


Virginia Woolf is considered to a great feminist. In her portrayal of Sir William Bradshaw, Woolf was putting every issue she had ever had with men into one character. He embodies upper class oppression; he is a rich, well respected psychiatrist who is actually quite bad at his job; and, the icing on the cake, he firmly believes that women should not be in control, or have rights.
