Abstract
Sex and gender have been two problematic subjects tackled by philosopshers, thinkers, and writers throughout humans’ existence on this globe. Sex refers to the biological consititution as female or male and gender indicates our cultural programming as masculine or feminine. Both terms define a person’s identity. The belief that men are superior to women had been prevailing and was accepted at face value. Virginia Woolf attempted in her essays and novels to uncover the male monopoly of economic, political, and social powers. She depicts first how women were kept powerless by denying them all educational and occupational means of acquiring economic ,political, and social power, and second how women struggled for equality and idependent identity.
