Short biography of Virginia Woolf (London, United Kingdom, 1882-Lewes, id., 1941).
Writer and feminist. She is considered one of the most prominent figures of 20th-century literary modernism. Her technique of interior monologue and her poetic style are considered two of the most important contributions to the modern novel. Her father, Leslie Stephen, was a philosopher, and Virginia was surrounded by intellectuals and freethinkers from her youth. From 1905, she lived with her sister, a painter, and her two brothers in the Bloomsbury neighborhood. She was part of the so-called Bloomsbury Group, which included the intellectual Leonard Woolf, her future husband. Together, they founded the Hogarth publishing house, which published Virginia's works. In the 1970s, her work was rediscovered by the feminist movement, starting with her essay "A Room of One's Own ," in which she exposes the difficulties women have in establishing themselves in the world of literature, a world dominated by men.
