Adeline Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf is noted for her novels, which featured a new type of literary style based on psychology and deemed "stream-of-consciousness," but she is also known for her criticism and essays on literary subjects. The act writing was an important human action for her, and she explored the meaning of this communicative process especially in terms of gender, in terms of the expression of women writers and the problems they encountered in finding their fictional voice.

Born into a privileged English household in 1882, writer Virginia Woolf was raised by free-thinking parents. She began writing as a young girl and published her first novel, The Voyage Out, in 1915. Her nonlinear, free form prose style inspired her peers and earned her much praise. She was also known for her mood swings and bouts of deep depression. She committed suicide in 1941, at the age of 59.
