This paper aims to conduct a detailed thematic analysis of Doris Lessing’s short story “A Woman on a Roof” (1963). Through analyzing the chauvinistic responses of the three blue-collar workers toward a stark-naked woman sunbathing herself on the roof, the present author expounds the typical androcentrism prevalent at the time when the story took place. And, by observing how the woman on the roof reacts to the men’s despicable remarks and aggressive actions, we see how successful Lessing is in portraying a graceful heroine who effectively launches counterattacks against the men’s overbearing aggression and finally wins her victory in the fireless war of feminism against male chauvinism.
