(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."
A Room of One's Own - as important a feminist essay as its reputation, some very powerful stuff.
To the Lighthouse - I found this one a bit confusing, it'll need a second read. I had the pleasure of reading some of this in the garden of Monk's House, AKA where Virginia Woolf lived and worked!
Mrs. Dalloway - an utter favourite and a true classic, it was lovely to read this yesterday on Mrs. Dalloway Day.
