Q- ) What is society’s thought about women and identity? Do you agree with them? If Yes then why? If no then why?

Answer:-

Society's thoughts about women and identity have varied across different cultures and historical periods. In the past, many societies held restrictive views on women's roles and identities, often prescribing specific expectations related to family, marriage, and societal norms. Women were sometimes perceived as having limited agency outside traditional roles.

I am agree with them because In the past, some believed women should stick to specific roles like taking care of the family, and this limited how they could express themselves. Over time, things have been changing, and now many people understand that women can have diverse identities and roles beyond old stereotypes. People are talking more about giving women equal chances and respecting their choices, but there are still places where challenges exist. The idea is that women should be free to be themselves and not limited by outdated views

Q- ) Write a note on your observations of the society during that era.

Answer:-

Observing the society during Vita Sackville-West and Virginia Woolf's time, which was the early 20th century, reveals a complex tapestry of social norms and expectations. Women, in particular, were often confined to traditional roles, with societal attitudes reinforcing limited views on their capabilities and identities. The era carried a conservative tone, and conventional gender roles were deeply ingrained.

However, the period also saw intellectual and artistic movements challenging these norms. The Bloomsbury Group, a collective of writers and artists, exemplified a more liberal approach, fostering discussions on unconventional ideas and relationships.

The time also reflected the struggles and conflicts arising from the clash between traditional expectations and the desire for individuality and self-expression. Vita and Virginia's relationship challenged the conventions of the time, illustrating the tension between personal desires and societal constraints.

In short the early 20th century exhibited a society marked by conservative gender roles, yet it was also a period witnessing the seeds of change and the emergence of voices challenging established norms, laying the foundation for the evolving perceptions of women and identity.
