Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf Virginia Woolf was an English writer considered one of the most important modernist authors of the 20th century. Her novels—Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928)—pioneered stream-of-consciousness narrative technique, and her essay A Room of One's Own (1929) became a landmark feminist text. She co-founded Hogarth Press with her husband Leonard Woolf and was a central member of the Bloomsbury Group; she died by suicide in 1941 after years of mental illness.
