What is the author's style in To Room Nineteen by Doris Lessing?

Lessing uses words and real life situation to create this well-crafted story, which explores the warring impulses of intellect and instinct, mind and heart, against the backdrop of early 1960s London, when women were caught in the social conservatism of the past and unable to see the promise of a future that would encourage choice, fulfillment, and personal freedom. Lessing's tragic story illuminates the restrictions placed on women of this era and the devastating consequences of those restrictions.
