About the author

Virginia Woolf

English novelist and essayist whose A Room of One's Own is the most important feminist literary essay in English. Her essays in The Common Reader redefined how literature should be discussed—personally, comparatively, with deep pleasure and intelligence. She also pioneered the stream of consciousness novel.
