Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf Biography

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English writer and feminist known for her novels, essays, and literary criticism. She was born in London to a prominent family and was educated at home by her parents and tutors. As a young woman, she began writing for various literary magazines and publishing her own works.

Woolf's early works were experimental and often focused on the inner lives of her characters. Her breakthrough novel, "Mrs. Dalloway" (1925), follows a day in the life of a woman in post-World War I England and explores themes of memory, time, and social class. Other notable works include "To the Lighthouse" (1927), "Orlando" (1928), and "The Waves" (1931).

In addition to her fiction writing, Woolf was a pioneer of literary modernism and a prominent member of the Bloomsbury Group, a circle of writers and artists in London in the early 20th century. She also wrote essays and literary criticism, including "A Room of One's Own" (1929), which is considered a seminal work of feminist thought.

Woolf suffered from mental health issues throughout her life, including bipolar disorder, and took her own life in 1941 at the age of 59. Despite her relatively short career, she is widely regarded as one of the most important writers of the 20th century and continues to influence literature and feminist thought to this day.
