Female Literary Icons

Description: Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath are iconic literary figures who offer a forensic insight into the minds of ordinary, yet wholly complex people from our everyday lives. Heralded as Virginia Woolf's greatest novel, Mrs Dalloway is a vivid portrait of a single day in a woman's life, carefully exploring the female psychological state of mind in a male dominated world. The Bell Jar chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood, penetrating deep into the dark and harrowing corners of her psyche. It is no surprise that both works have become haunting American classics with their sophisticated prose.
