Woolf suffered from depression throughout her life, which some attribute to abuse by two of her step-brothers as a child.

She ultimately took her own life in 1941 due to her lifelong struggle with mental illness.
Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf was a pioneering modernist author born in 1882 who experimented with stream-of-consciousness techniques in her novels and essays. In her influential 1929 essay A Room of One's Own, Woolf argues that women writers throughout history lacked the financial means and independence afforded to male writers, hindering their ability to develop and realize their full artistic potential. She speculates about how a hypothetical extremely gifted sister of Shakespeare named Judith may have been prevented from writing due to societal constraints facing women. The essay also examines how factors like poverty can impact an author's work and the relationship between anger over one's situation and the creative process.

He saw imagination as the key distinguishing factor of a true poet.
