It is a commonplace for woman in Woolf’s age to allow her angle of vision to be limited by what is expected of her from the public. The widely coveted female figure could be symbolized as the angel in the house. She holds women back from expressing their unique and to some extent shocking insights. The point I am trying to make in this essay is that the authors of Gender Failure and the heroine of Good Night Desdemona have all been through a battle with the “angel in the house”, and they have successfully killed it.
