Virginia Woolf ends A Room of One`s Own entreating women to leave the common sitting-room and experience the world. This paper explores what it means to have one`s own place through an analysis of women`s experience in places of the city and home in Mrs. Dalloway. To create a place of one`s own is to sense and possess places not as how one is supposed to, but how one could and would experience. This paper argues that there is a constructive synergy between women and place that is dependent on their ability to make sense of circumstances and sensuously interact with place. When they experience places for themselves rather than ideological constructs, oppressive localities that propagate femininity and domesticity become potentially liberatory. Place is read anew as characters confront the gender-stratified world, superimposing the ``places`` of their mind onto place; it becomes suffused with a fleeting and elusive quality that emanates from commingling spaces. This paper posits this sense of place as empowering and pervasive because it does not fixate or delimit; rather, it equips women with a renewed understanding of space that, thenceforth, transforms their relations with place.
