Virginia Woolf was a famous English writer born in 1882 who wrote during a time of great social and cultural change in Britain after World War I. She experienced several mental breakdowns throughout her life following the deaths of family members and sexual abuse by her half-brother. Her novel Mrs. Dalloway, written when she was 43, dealt with the devastation of World War I and the dramatic changes it brought to Western society. Woolf struggled with balancing her need for independence against the social expectations of her class. She ultimately drowned herself in 1941 near her home in Sussex.
