Virginia Woolf (1882–1941), born into London literary society, was a prolific author of novels, criticism, diaries, and essays, including the influential feminist work A Room of One’s Own. In her masterpieces To the Lighthouse, Mrs. Dalloway, and The Waves, Woolf moved away from plot, developing a stream of consciousness that brought new psychological depth to literature. Although she suffered from bipolar disorder, which ultimately led to her suicide, Woolf was revered as the witty and entertaining center of the Bloomsbury Group.
