| Abstract | ||
| Abstract Patriarchy refers to the system of masculine domination over women in society. It has been tackled in the feminist criticism in the 1970s. It has been first studied in the Western feminist literary writings, especially the French and English literary ones. Virginia Woolf is one of the eminent female English novelists whose letters and novels have received more attention than the other female novelists. This research studies the psychological effects of patriarchy in Woolf’s Jacob’s Room on female characters. These effects include humiliation, pessimism, depression and others. Jacob’s Room reveals Woolf’s feminist orientation and discloses the narrator’s female perspective. The research concludes that most of the visions on female characters have feminist views and voice. | ||
