This dissertation establishes a theory of Virginia Woolf's feminism that is based upon representations of sisterhood in her major novels and in her letters to and about her own sister, Vanessa Bell. It explores the status of female roles and relations in Woolf's domestic plots by way of the structure of difference and plurality I identify in her private and public writings alike. Proceeding from the assertion that Woolf's readings and representations of Bell significantly shaped, complicated, and enlarged her vision of female identity, experience, and destiny, I argue that Woolf's epistolary and novelistic impulses continued along similar lines. The sisters' correspondence establishes the conflicting and shifting positions on marriage, motherhood, and art that define and divide the women of Woolf's major novels: The Voyage Out, Night and Day, Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, The Years, and Between the Acts. Sisterhood emerges as a thematic and structural problem in Woolf's fiction. Most significantly, the voluble and voluminous dialogue of Woolf and Bell's thirty-seven year correspondence is met by the frequent silence or absence of sisters in Woolf's novels. The sisterless heroines, counterpoised women, and oppositional models of female experience in Woolf's fiction problematize bonds among women of the same generation even as they characterize the woman with whom Woolf sustained the longest and deepest bond of her life. Complicating and enriching this contradiction is the manner in which Woolf hails the female common life in her feminist essays, A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas. The equivocating conception of womanhood that emerges in Woolf's oeuvre must be read as a strategic tactic of her feminist project. As she uses a complex sister plot to interrogate and revise the traditional marriage plot, Woolf makes voluble the voices of female difference. Re-enacting the terms of complementarity she establishes with Bell, her novels refuse to cast fixed models of female experience. Rather, Woolf's subversive domestic plots dissolve married/unmarried, domestic/professional, creative/ procreative binarisms to represent multiple and diverse possibilities of female experience and destiny.
