Who is Virginia Woolf?

Virginia Woolf was a British modernist writer, and she was born in London, in the year 1882. She began working as a journalist, writing articles for the Times Literary Supplement in the early 1900s. By 1915, she had written her first novel. – The Voyage Out. In 1917, Virginia and Leonard founded the Hogarth Press which published her novels and later works by other writers, such as T.S.Eliot and Lauren van der Post. She was considered a modernist author, for her experimentation in a stream of consciousness writing, reminiscent of the period. Often her novels were based on quite ordinary, even banal, situations. But, she sought to explore the underlying psychological and emotional motives of the characters involved. She explored ideas of sexual ambivalence, shell shock from First World War, and the rapid changes of society. Her three most important novels were Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and The Waves (1931).
