Night and Day

Virginia Woolf's second novel is both a love story and a subversive comedy which questions the role of women in society. Contemplating their futures, five single people in their late 20s and early 30s are immobilized by indecision. Questions like who, when, and whether to marry, the changing roles of men and women in a rapidly changing world, and matters of independence versus family obligations come to the fore. The protagonists include the wealthy Katharine Hilbery, torn between the poet William Rodney and the passionate Ralph Denham; Katharine's mother, Margaret; and the women's rights activist Mary Datch.
