VIRGINIA WOOLF
BIOGRAPHY
Adeline Virginia Stephen, known as Virginia Woolf, was born on 25 January 1882 in South Kensington, London. She was a writer.
She didn’t
go to school because she received private lessons from her father.
Woolf is
considered to be one of the most outstanding figures of Anglo-Saxon Modernism in
the twentieth century and of International feminism. Woolf was a significant
figure in the literary society of London and a member of the Bloomsbury group.
Woolf
suffered her first depression when she was thirteen years old because of her
father’s death. That provoked an alarming attack and was briefly followed by
recurrent periods of depression. She also suffered abuse from her stepbrothers.
In 1912,
when she was thirty years old, she married the writer Leonard Woolf.
His most
famous Works are:
- Mrs Dalloway
- To the Lighthouse
- A room of his own
On March
28, 1941 Woolf committed suicide.
My comments:
I admire
her because she was the first feminist writer.
