Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) is recognized as one of the most innovative writers of the 20th century.

Born into a wealthy English household in 1882, author Virginia Woolf was raised by free-thinking parents. She began writing as a young girl and, encouraged by her father, began writing professionally in 1900. Perhaps best known as the author of Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), she was also a prolific writer of essays, diaries, letters, and biographies. She and her husband, Leonard Woolf, bought a used printing press and established their own publishing house, Hogarth Press, going on to publish some of their own work as well as that of Sigmund Freud, Katharine Mansfield, and T.S. Eliot. Throughout her career, Woolf spoke regularly at colleges and universities and by her mid-forties, she had established herself as an intellectual, an innovative and influential writer, and a pioneering feminist.

In her personal life, she suffered bouts of deep depression. She took her own life in 1941, at the age of 59, after her house was destroyed in The Blitz (WW2 bombing of London).
