Woolf exposes the prejudices and constraints against which women writers struggled for centuries, and argues for a more equal literary establishment
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was born in London. She became a central figure in The Bloomsbury Group, an informal collective of British writers, artists and thinkers. In 1912 Virginia married Leonard Woolf, a writer and social reformer. She wrote many works of literature which are now considered masterpieces, including Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando, and The Waves.
One realises afresh the full meaning of originality, the magic of
the mind which plays around concrete facts as though they were all
spirit. And when it is finished it is with a renewed sense of zest
and stimulus that one takes up life again and looks anew at objects
which before were only ordinary.
