Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf (London, 1882), great author to whom we owe one of the most original contributions to the structure of the novel in the twentieth century, he published numerous works, among which Mrs. Dalloway (1925), Orlando (1928), waves (1931) and Between the Acts (1941). In his essay An own room (1929) described the difficulties facing women to devote himself to literature. In March 1941, suffering from a painful mental illness, committed suicide in a river getting with pockets full of stones.
