Abstract

Virginia Woolf, the third child of Sir Leslie Stephen, was a prominent critic and historian, but suffered from severe illness, even going into a coma, during a period of significant historical, political, and social change. Her work, a literary achievement, focuses on the thoughts and feelings of her characters, Vanessa, Thoby, Virginia, and Adrian, who relocate to London’s 46 Gordon Square. Her internal monologue captures life’s singularity, making it intriguing and personal. In 1906, after Thoby’s death, she felt devastated and lost her sister Vanessa’s engagement to Clive Bell. Despite Leonard’s advice to see a doctor, she refused, stating she could withstand another attack. Understanding her interest in women’s concerns is crucial before exploring her major contributions to feminism. Since her early years, she has held a profound and undefined dislike
for the way men treat women famous for her modernist writings, she was an English novelist who tragically abandoned her in 1941 from mental illness and despondency. Her death serves as a reminder of the transient nature of human awareness and the profound challenges that even brilliant minds may face. Despite her tragic death, her innovative books and essays continue to inspire readers and authors worldwide, remaining a testament to her legacy.
