Modernists see, interpret, and represent the far and wide transformations in the early 20th century in their works. Women writers in this age of great change, in particular, portray characters seeking their identities through painful experiences up against social, cultural, and political inequalities, which literally and figuratively constitute "Voyage in the Dark". My research focuses on studying how gender role pressure and representational differences arising from gender difference pan out in the works of women modernists from the British Empire such as Katherine Mansfield, Jean Rhys, and Virginia Wolf.
