About the author

(Adeline) Virginia Woolf 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."

Reviews

[Tallulah Back · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a very enjoyable read, with a fairly varied collection of authors. I liked that they were all short stories so it was easy to dip in and out of, many of the authors I recognised, and it was interesting to discover authors I hadn't heard of.

A lot of the stories were gripping and poignant which really kept me coming back for more, would definitely recommend!

Some of the best - and well-known - women writers, and some new short stories I haven't read before. Wonderful writing.
