Virginia Woolf was born in a family which lived in an intellectual context ( her father was a scholar).

This state influenced her life brought her to have independent ideas about life; it was an abnormal

situation in contrast with women's role in 19th century. After her father's death she moved to London

with her sister and brothers and settled in Bloomsbury district. Here was born "Bloomsbury Group" an

association in which belong artists and intellectuals, Virginia and her parents. This group was

composed by people very intelligent, awake and frankness especially in sexual life. Virginia herself

was bisexual, even if she married Leonard Woolf. Her choice of an untraditional sexual life influenced

her novels and narrative. In 1917 she and her husband founded the Hogarth Press which published

most labours which would became pillars of our culture. In 1941 Virginia killed herself no more able to

support her life and her psychical situation. She became a great writer because did not follow the

traditional way to composed a novel, a way slave of fees which were not able to express the truly sense

of life. Virginia experimented her style and ideas, the product was a new narrative crossed by new

techniques (first of all the stream of consciousness) which expressed in the best way what she wanted

say and helped the Common Reader to understand her conception of life.
