Short Bio
Virginia Woolf, born Adeline Virginia Stephen on January 25, 1882, in London, England, and passing on March 28, 1941, was an English writer who is considered one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the 20th century. Woolf's work is known for its innovative narrative structures, depth of psychological insight, and exploration of the human condition, particularly the lives and perspectives of women.
Her most notable novels include "Mrs. Dalloway," "To the Lighthouse," and "Orlando." Woolf was also a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device.
Beyond her novels, she wrote essays and critiques, co-founded the Hogarth Press, and was a central figure in the Bloomsbury Group, a circle of intellectuals and artists in the early 20th century. Woolf's exploration of gender roles, mental illness, and feminism has left a lasting impact on literature and feminist discourse.
