Adeline Virginia Woolf (1882 \u0096 1941) was an English writer and one of the most influential 20th-century modernist authors. She helped to pioneer the use of stream of consciousness narration as a literary device. Woolf began publishing professionally in 1900 and rose to prominence during the interwar period with novels like Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928), as well as the feminist essay A Room of One\u0092s Own (1929). Her work became central to 1970s feminist criticism. RAREA1932SBDB - 08\/25 - HK2555.
