Biography
Adeline Virginia Woolf was an English writer, considered one of the most important modernist 20th-century authors and a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. She was a member of the Bloomsbury Group and published her works through the Hogarth Press. Her best-known works include Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando, and the extended essay A Room of One's Own, which argues that a woman must have money and a room of her own to write fiction.
Philosophy
A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction. One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. The eyes of others are our prisons; their thoughts our cages.
