Virginia Woolf (18821941) was one of the twentieth century's most important writers. In addition to writing ten novels, including Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse, Woolf was the cofounder of the Hogarth Press and a prolific essayist and critic. Her manifesto A Room of One's Own is a cornerstone of modern feminist thought.

""A fresh perspective on Woolf’s early ‘literary experiments’ . . . . Suffused with delicate magic and penetrating wit, the stories in The Life of Violet foreground a radical world structured by laughter, magic, women’s friendships, and egalitarian social relations."" * Foreword Reviews * ""A whimsically serious trio of stories intended as a mock-biography of Violet Dickinson, and published here for the first time in a standalone volume. . . . The three stories in The Life of Violet are funny. They are also, delightfully, very silly. And perhaps most of all, they are sexy, something Woolf was more than capable of being.""---Oliver Soden, Spectator World
