Virginia Woolf is now accepted as an extremely important literary figure and an early feminist.

However, her work wasn't embraced or widely anthologized until nearly 50 years after her novels were published. Here are 5 reasons why Woolf should be one of your feminist icons:

• She was chiefly interested in and wrote about the inner lives of women.
• She lived in a time when she was granted few rights, but turned the setback into a strength.
• She was progressive in her feminism, and even made the connection between a patriarchal society and militarism.
• She believed deeply in the power of the individual.
• She saw sexuality and gender as fluid.

Woolf's work was influenced by prominent writers and artists of the time such as Marcel Proust, Igor Stravinsky, and the Post-Impressionists.

Family summers in coastal Cornwall also shaped Woolf indelibly, exposing her to the ocean as a source of literary inspiration and creating memories she would fictionalize for her acclaimed novel, To the Lighthouse.
