Volume : II, Issue : II, March - 2012 THE FEMALE SENTENCE IN VIRGINIA WOOLF'S MRS. DALLOWAY (1925) G. D. Ingale DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : This paper seeks to define the notion of 'female sentence' and its use in one of the greatest
experimental novels written by Virginia Woolf. As a modernist writer, her primary concern was to unshackle
and dismantle the obsolete and meaningless institutions and values handed down to her from the past. She
became successful in doing so with the novel form – with its formal features, its content as well as with its
language. In this way, she contributed immensely to the development of the novel form by making it an
inclusive form with female vision of life as an integral part of novel. This paper is a modest attempt which
seeks to throw light on Woolf's views about the gendered sentence as she uses in her novel Mrs. Dalloway
