“The Lady in the Looking Glass: A Reflection,” a short story by Virginia Woolf published in Harper’s in December 1929, describes the images reflected in a mirror situated in a woman’s dressing room, providing a glimpse of the furnishings of her life, but, pointedly, not allowing us a glimpse into the more private aspects of her character. As such, this sketch uses many of the same motifs and illustrates in a concentrated, more explicit form many of the themes that Woolf had explored in more depth and complexity in Jacob’s Room and To The Lighthouse.
