An English author and a key member of the Bloomsbury Group, her writing often delved into themes of identity, gender, and the passage of time. Woolf's most acclaimed works, such as "Mrs Dalloway," "To the Lighthouse," and "Orlando," exemplify her mastery of stream-of-consciousness technique, offering profound insights into her characters' thoughts and emotions.

She also advocated for women’s rights and the need for female authors to have a voice within the literary canon, notably in her famous essay "A Room of One's Own." Woolf's legacy continues to inspire readers and writers alike, marking her as one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century.
