Virginia Woolf, an English novelist and essayist, one of the representatives of the modernism in the twentieth century, has achieved her writing peak and aesthetic maturity in her most experimental work The Waves. It not only contains the profound philosophical contemplation of 'life' , but also puts forward a challenge to the aesthetic theories and the traditional forms of the novels. Most Critics consider the Waves a typical of pure literature art or consider the Woolfian moment a moment of pure being, a mystical experience beyond everyday, beyond history, and beyond meaning. While this thesis would like to place the Woolfian moment in the context of the real world, that is the material and historical realm beyond merely the personal and subjective. That is from Rhoda's vision and by exploring closely Woolf s deployment of the colors and images in relation to the feminism movement , to seek to help understand some of the feminist implications of Woolfs innovatory feminist aesthetics in The Waves.
