If we compare the modernism time with the works of Virginia Woolf and Mina Loy. We can find the beginning of a feminist culture movement. Here Virginia and Mina express their feelings towards the society who do not take into account the women points of view. In other words, Here men's opinion ruled which made a very unequal world in that time.
Also, These women referred to how people think in that time, who were very close-minded, and didn't accept something irrational such as lesbianism which was something who both practiced in any time in their lives. This topic appeared in both work but moslty in Mrs the Dallow book.
Something that they didn't exclude was their point of view of the world war I which was mentioned for both in a particular way. In Mrs dalloway explains how was her life in that time when most people suffered because of the war; poverty, tragedies, hunger, etc. Whereas in Aphorisms on Futurism, the author points out to those close minds unreceptive to new ideas. in ohter words these people didn't want to see in the future
3. Do you feel the works you read are very good or excellent representations of Modernist Literature? Why/Why Not?
Yes, because these works express how rough those times were in war, and how the people were in that time.

4. Would you recommend the readings to friends or family? Why/Why Not?
yes and no, yes because there are people who really want to understand this time therefore, they have to know the past. And no, because these works are too redundant which can get some people bored.
