Virginia Woolf (1882- 194 1), formerly known as Virginia Stephen, is a famous female novelist, critic and essayist in modern Britain.

Some people even made a special study on her "madness", appearance, hobbies and private life. Virginia Woolf has become a legend in English literature.

Virginia Woolf was born in London on 1882. Her father, Sir Stephen, is a knowledgeable and prestigious philosopher and critic. Virginia was weak from childhood, never went to school, and studied with her father at home. At that time, many scholars and celebrities were frequent visitors to her home.

After her father 1904 died, she moved to Bloomsbury, a cultural district in London, and later her home became the activity place of Bloomsbury Group. Members of this literary group often discuss problems together, opposing the social fashion at that time, opposing the discipline of literature and art, and advocating free exploration.
