Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf (born January 25, 1882, United Kingdom) was a pioneering British writer, essayist, and literary critic, best known for her influential contributions to modernist literature. A central figure in the Bloomsbury Group, Woolf's experimental narrative techniques, especially her use of stream of consciousness, reshaped 20th-century fiction. Her most significant works include Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928), which explore themes of identity, time, and gender. Woolf was also a vocal advocate for women’s rights, most notably expressed in her extended essay A Room of One’s Own (1929), which argued for intellectual freedom and financial independence for women. Her writing continues to influence feminist theory and literary studies. Woolf's introspective depth and stylistic innovations left a lasting legacy in world literature. #VirginiaWoolf #ModernistLiterature #FeministIcon #BritishWriters #Mooflife #MomentsOfLife profile - | Artist: George Charles Beresford / Adam Cuerden | Credit: Filippo Venturi Photography Blog background -
