I think that Woolf's look into the everyday is fascinating because it is so different that the other people and works we have read. Woolf does not use an authoritative tone when talking about the issues of feminism and the everyday. She shies away from that tone as if she is trying to say that she is not the best person to speak about the issue. Instead, she writes in a way that is more personal and down-to-earth. It is a fictional narrative that she is telling while combining it with real issues. In doing this, she distorts the criticism of only showing her point of view because technically, she isn't. With talking about a fictional character, she is able to talk about the issues facing women more intently by talking herself out of the conversation.
We talked about the saying "fiction can show more of the truth than the facts." This is absolutely true. Fiction writers have always been using fictional worlds to comments about the issues facing our own. The book "If Beale Street Could Talk" is a perfect example. All of the characters are made up and the situations they go through did not technically happen, but the book gives fascinating insight into what African Americans had to go through during the 1950s. This is exactly what Woolf is saying. Fiction helps the reader understand the issue, at least in the author's perspective, by not having to deal with facts that could distort the truth.
I think the comment about "fiction can show more of the truth than the facts" works really well with your post. Fiction does help readers to understand the issue without throwing in unnecessary facts. And I think it's interesting in your first paragraph when you say "she distorts the criticism of only showing her point of view because technically, she isn't". She was smart to remove her actual self from her writing to avoid opinions from others onto her direct self.
