— VIRGINIA WOOLF
Novelist and essayist · 1882 – 1941
Virginia Woolf was an English writer and a central figure of literary modernism, famous for stream-of-consciousness novels such as Mrs Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927). Her essay A Room of One's Own (1929) became a foundational feminist text on women and writing. With her husband Leonard she founded the Hogarth Press, which published her own work and that of T. S. Eliot and others.
