A Room of One's Own
Born Adeline Virginia Stephen in 1882, Virginia Woolf learned early on that it was her fate to be "the daughter of educated men." In a journal entry shortly after her father's death in 1904, she wrote: "His life would have ended mine... No writing, no books: inconceivable." She expressed her concern about the position of women, especially professional women, in her essay "A Room of One's Own."

Mrs. Dalloway & Her Descendents
With the publication of "Mrs. Dalloway" in 1925, Virginia Woolf offered one of her greatest novels (some say the greatest) to the literary world. James Joyce's "Ulysses" had just been published in 1922. And, like "Ulysses," Woolf's novel followed the life of an ordinary person on an ordinary day.
