Flush

Exploring themes of class struggle, lesbian love, and the challenges faced by women writers, this work offers a unique perspective on the life of Flush, the lap dog of poet Elizabeth Barrett-Browning. It highlights the significance of animal studies in contemporary discussions, linking Woolf's portrayal of Flush to early 20th-century feminist activism and modern philosophical inquiries into animality. The essay emphasizes the relevance of Woolf's narrative in understanding the intersections of writing, gender, and feminism, making it a compelling subject for reappraisal.
