I read her "To the Light House", "Mrs Dolloway" and "A Room of One's Own" but I can't go on to the other titles on the shelf. Since I noticed sometime I couldn't comprehend or follow her unique stream of narratives so I stopped reading once in a while, then picked them up to read again. Any ideas of understnding more on her ways of writing or the 'message' she attempted to convey to her readers? I know she's a great writer and I read her essays with delight and appreciation. Again I always feel sorry for her untiming passing away.

V. Woolf was known for pioneering the "stream of consciousness" style of narrative. In A Room of One's Own, at least, her message is complex. She seems to call for equality between the sexes in literature based on the concept of androgyny, however, she bases most of her argument on the difference between the sexes, rather than their mergence. In essence, Woolf calls for men to write more like women, and women to write more like men, with respect to both sexes' places in society.
