She was one of 8 children to well-known and wealthy parents. Her father was a popular and respected author and her mother was a model and writer. This allowed her to have a life in the arts as her family was able to afford it and always surrounded her with literary artists growing up. She started having mental breakdowns at a young age following her parents' deaths. She married Leonard Woolf in 1912, a member and writer of the Bloomsbury group in which she was also a part of. She was a journalist when she was young and wrote essays and novels throughout her life. She was praised for her work as her views were different for the early 20th century. Her battle with depression was lost when she chose to fill her coat with stones on the 28th of March, 1941, and drowned herself in a river near her home. She was 59. Her work was known to influence the development of modernism and feminist criticism. ]]> 2020-03-31 04:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/alegee96/virginiawoolf/wish/483531545 alegee96 https://padlet.com/alegee96/virginiawoolf/wish/483551649 Published on October 8th, 1931. 
This novel is considered to be Woolf's most experimental works.

This novel is thought to have been inspired by Woolf's own family and her memories as a child. It's most known for the stream-of-consciousness literary technique in which a character's thoughts go uninterrupted in a continuous flow.]]> 2020-03-31 05:11:55 UTC https://padlet.com/alegee96/virginiawoolf/wish/483553788 alegee96 https://padlet.com/alegee96/virginiawoolf/wish/483556075 Published on October 24th, 1929. 
Considered a feminist classic and is what made Woolf a famous feminist writer. A book length essay discussing how a women's lack of societal and financial support along with an absence of education doesn't allow them to grow and have their own imprint in society like men do.]]> 2020-03-31 05:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/alegee96/virginiawoolf/wish/483556075 alegee96 https://padlet.com/alegee96/virginiawoolf/wish/483558517 Published May 14, 1925.
Known as Woolf's most famous novel. A story about a day in the life of its main character, Clarissa Dalloway. She is preparing for an evening party that she is hosting. It's well known for the way she portrays reality in the point of view of Mrs. Dalloway. ]]> 2020-03-31 05:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/alegee96/virginiawoolf/wish/483558517 alegee96 https://padlet.com/alegee96/virginiawoolf/wish/483565611 Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own" is known to be her most feminist driven work. Her fictitious example of Judith Shakespeare, the equally talented sister of William Shakespeare, cannot reach the same level of success of her brother because she is repressed due to her gender and ends her life. Her talent is unable to be shared to the world because she is a women in where society does not give them the same opportunities as men. In her novel, "Orlando", a young male poet is found to have transformed into a woman and sees that how their independence and privileges are taken away as a woman. Woolf's writing allows the reader to understand that even though Orlando's mind is the same, their successes are almost non-existent as a woman and the only difference being their physical appearance and sex. 
She was aware of the history and the present-day struggles of being a woman in a profession mostly recognized by men. She saw the roles that were given to each gender and thought in order to grow as human beings, genders needed to bend and stop generalizing each sex. Woolf was known to have romantic relationships with women and liked the idea of ambiguity to rid of the idea of gender roles.]]> 2020-03-31 05:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/alegee96/virginiawoolf/wish/483565611 alegee96 https://padlet.com/alegee96/virginiawoolf/wish/483582117 A portrait taken of Virginia at 21, before being married and is known as her most famous portrait.
