The aim of this final paper is to compare the relation between space and female identity on the example of three novels from English literary history: Daneil Defoe’s Moll Flanders (1722), Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway (1925), and Orlando (1928). In the first example we have male presentation of a female protagonist in the context of the 18th century urban environment while in the other two examples the percpetion of the issue is feminine: in her Mrs Dalloway Virginia Woolf also uses London for the setting of the novel, just like Daniel Defoe for his presentation of Moll Flanders, but presentation of female protagonist differs, not only due to time span of almost two hundred years. For Moll Flanders London is a hostile environment while Clarissa “plunges” into its streets feeling free. Special attention is being given to Virginia Woolf’s presentaton of Orlando, who, unlike Moll and Clarissa does not have any reason to either become or just be a (respectful) woman. Orlando is what s/he wants to be. S/he is a person in the first place and if we want him/her to be a woman, then in that concrete situation it must be stated that she has finally found her own self to the extent that she is not only presented as a woman (i.e. a mother) but by the end of the novel she also succeeds in finishing her poem at last (Orlando had stared writing a poem at the very beginning of the novel). Thus Orlando is not only a procreative female figure (by giving birth to her child) but alo a creative woman (creativity usually being attributed to male gender), capable to realize her own potentials. Correspondingly Orlando is a character that is not resctricted either by time or space, unlike Moll or Clarissa.
