Virginia Woolf (January 25, 1882, London, Britain-kicked the bucket on March 28, 1941) was born in England. She was an English writer and novelist. In 1912, she got married to Leonard Woolf, and in 1917, they established the Hogarth Press. Her best books, including Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), were experimental, and she found unexpected success. Orlando's (1928) and The Waves (1931). These works confirmed her place among the major figures of literary modernism. Her long essay, A Room of One's Own (1929), addressed women's status and women artists in the state. Woolf's other books include Jacob's Room (1922), The Years (1937), and Between the Acts in 1941. She has written a biography of Roger Fry. Her physical and mental stability were sensitive all her life, and with this mental illness, she drowned herself. Her diaries and correspondence have been published in many editions.
