Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf was part of the Bloomsbury set and an important novelist and writer of non-fiction. Her famous titles include A Room of One’s Own, Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse.
“In A Room of One’s Own, Woolf asks the reader to consider the following questions: why did men drink wine and women water? Why was one sex so prosperous and the other so poor? What effect has poverty on fiction? On poetry? What conditions are necessary for the creation of a work of art? She had already asked these questions in Orlando.”
Jeanette Winterson writing in the Guardian: “How Woolf’s Orlando became a trans triumph”.
