About Woolf:
Virginia Woolf (January 25, 1882 – March 28, 1941) was an
English novelist and essayist regarded as one of the foremost
modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. During the
interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary
society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her most
famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the
Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928), and the book-length
essay A Room of One’s Own (1929) with its famous dictum, “a
woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to
write fiction”.
