In a series of subtle readings of Jacob's Room, Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando and The Waves, closely informed by psychoanalytic theory, Makiko Minow-Pinkney shows that Woolf's most experimental writing is actually a feminist subversion of narrative, writing and the subject: the deepest formal principles of a patriarchal social order.
