Virginia Woolf with her Father

Undated photograph of Woolf with her father Sir Leslie Stephen. Adeline Virginia Woolf (January 25, 1882 - March 28, 1941) was an English writer, and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. She was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." After completing the manuscript of her last novel, Between the Acts, she fell into a deep depression. On March 28, 1941, Woolf put on her overcoat, filled its pockets with stones, and walked into the River Ouse near her home and drowned herself. She was 59 years old. Leslie Stephen, her father, was a notable historian, author, critic and mountaineer. He was a founding editor of the Dictionary of National Biography, a work which would influence Woolf's later experimental biographies.
