Summary/Abstract: Virginia Woolf was one of the first authors who, considering the relationship between women and fiction, clearly pointed out the reasons for women’s inferiority to men. She stated historical, social as well as aesthetic obstacles that women are faced with during the process of writing. The aim of this paper is to analyse two Woolf’s essays “Women and Fiction” and “Professions for Women” regarding modern literary theory and to point out the importance and influence of Woolf as an essayist and a critic in the field of women’s writing whose prose work is actual even seventy years after her death.
