Virginia Woolf
Maybe you already knew, but that woman in the painting is Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), a brilliant English essayist, feminist and thinker. The painting that appears on my main page is from the hands of her elder sister, Vanessa, a noted artist.
Virginia Woolf's many works include Mrs. Dalloway (1925), Orlando (1928), A Room of One's Own (1929), and Three Guineas (1938). Married to fellow social activist and intellectual, Leonard Woolf, Virginia also was a driving force behind Hogarth Press, which published the works of many great writers, including T.S. Eliot.
As this site develops, I'll bring you more and more information about and writings of Virginia Woolf, but, for now, be content with these links below:
