《到十九号房间》的女主人公苏珊是一位具有强烈的女性自我意识、渴望独立与自由的现代知识女性。但这个以男性为中心的父权制社会禁锢了她自由独立的意识,使她不可避免地陷入痛苦绝望的深渊并不断地抗争。尽管莱辛并不认为这是女权主义运动的象征,但是小说中女性意识的觉醒的确反映出作家的女权主义思想。 Susan, a heroine in Room 19, is a modern intellectual woman with strong female self-awareness and longing for independence and freedom. However, this male-centered patriarchal society imprisoned her with a sense of freedom and independence, inevitably plunged her into the abyss of painful despair and continued to fight. Although Lessing does not consider this a symbol of the feminist movement, the awakening of female consciousness in the novel does reflect the feminist thinking of writers.
