A Woman's Essays by Virginia Woolf
A collection of essays dealing with a variety of subjects including modern writing, feminism and education. In "Women and Fiction" Virginia Woolf considers the reasons why so many educated women began writing novels in the 18th century. In another she discusses the lack of education that women received and the narrowness of conventional education. Also included are some of the book reviews that Virginia Woolf wrote for "The Times Literary Supplement".
Virginia Woolf, born in 1882, was the major novelist at the heart of the inter-war Bloomsbury Group. Her early novels include The Voyage Out, Night and Day and Jacob's Room. Between 1925 and 1931 she produced her finest masterpieces, including Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando and the experimental The Waves. Her later novels include The Years and Between the Acts, and she also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, journalism and biography, including the passionate feminist essay A Room of One's Own. Suffering from depression, she drowned herself in the River Ouse in 1941.
