Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf was an English modernist writer and one of the most influential literary figures of the twentieth century. Born Adeline Virginia Stephen in London in 1882, she became a central figure of the Bloomsbury Group and a pioneer of the stream-of-consciousness narrative technique. Her novels, including Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse, revolutionized how fiction could capture the inner workings of the human mind. She was also a trailblazing essayist and feminist thinker whose works continue to shape literature and criticism.
