About This Novel
"She Wants to Buy Her Own Flowers" is a companion piece to "A Room of One's Own" by Virginia Woolf, a master of the British stream of consciousness and a standard bearer of feminism. It is intertwined with her representative essays and parts of her diaries. It contains both sharp social insights and delicate self-examination, presenting readers with the dual aspects of a thinker and a living person. In this book, Woolf pushes feminism from the external demands of "be rich and have your own room" to the inner revolution of "killing the 'angel in the house'". She not only reminds us to seize the freedom of material and space, but also guides us to face the shackles hidden in our hearts and break away from the shackles of virtue imposed on women by traditional society. She calls on women to gain true freedom and creativity only after cutting off these internalized shackles. The inner spiritual bloody breakthrough of "killing the angel in the house" is a more fundamental and more arduous liberation for women than winning the outer room and money--
