Virginia Woolf was an English writer and one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. She had an uncanny ability to put deep, inner thoughts to paper. She wasn’t afraid to experiment and encouraged her talented friends to do the same. Having lived through the first World War, Virginia embraced a new way of living and seeing the world. Though she lived an unconventional life, she left the world with some wonderful classics that transcend time.
