VIrginia Woolf’s Birthday
Born in 1882 died in 1941
Woolf—one of the great writers
of the 20th Century
Mrs. Dalloway published in 1925
challenged the way we read novels
today—the stream-of consciousness
style of the lead character, Clarissa
Dalloway is a great illustration of
this new invention. Virginia Woolf
gave me a new way to view the world
of words—I celebrate her genius
and continue to be awed by her
writing. Thanks to Virginia we have
A ROOM OF ONE’S OWN—declaring
that women do need a space of their
own—1929 this book was published
and things have not been the same
since. IF you love women you will
love Virginia Woolf—she understands
passion and the struggle to reach
independence—
AN aside—last Saturday we had a
discussion on Mrs. Dalloway and
people want to read another book
by Virginia.
—next time we will discuss
TO THE LIGHT HOUSE for a virtual
meeting in March—contact
