Synthesis of Virginia Woolf's Life

Virginia Woolf was one of the most important writers of the 20ieth century. She was born in 1882 in London. Her father, Sir Leslie Stephen, an important crititic and historian during the Vicotorian age, and her mother educated her at home because society did not allow women to go to school.
In 1895 her mother died and this caused her first nervous breakdown. Some years later also her father died and she had another psychological breakdown.
After her father's death Virginia Woolf and her sister, Vanessa Bell, moved to Bloomsbury, where they founded the Bloomsbury Group, a cultural group of writers and artists. It became a point of reference in English culture and she met here Leonard Woolf, her future husband. In 1905 she began writing literary critiques for "Times Literary Supplement" and "The Guardian".
Some years later her wedding she fell passionately in love with the poet Vita Sackville-West, who influenced her literary production, but Mr Woolf had always supported her wife.
After writing her first novel in 1913, she had another nervous breakdown and she tried to commit suicide. In order to help her, Mr Woolf founded with her the Hogarth Press, which published the works of some of the most important writers of the period like T. S. Eliot, S. Freud and Virginia Woolf herself.
She was a famous feminist and she strongly fought in order to obtain female suffrage.
In spite of she loved staying with people, when she was on her own she was subjected to sudden changes of mood and anxiety. Her psychological disturbs, the periods of depression (in particular after finishing a novel) and her dread of War World II, lead her to commit suicide in 1941.
Her first novel The Voyage Out was published in 1915; she wrote many novels using the innovative techinique of the "stream of consciousness" and over 500 essays.
