Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English author, essayist, and publisher. She is considered one of the most important modernist authors of the 20th century. Woolf was born in London and educated at home by her parents. She began writing professionally in 1905, and her first novel, The Voyage Out, was published in 1915. Woolf is best known for her novels Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928). Her essays, including A Room of One's Own (1929) and Three Guineas (1938), are also widely read. Woolf was a member of the Bloomsbury Group, a circle of writers, artists, and intellectuals who met regularly in London. She was married to the writer Leonard Woolf, and together they founded the Hogarth Press in 1917. Woolf suffered from mental illness throughout her life, and she committed suicide in 1941.
