Adeline Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was an English writer, and considered one of the most important modernist 20th-century authors & a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. She attended the Ladies' Department of King's College London, where she studied classics and history and came into contact with early reformers of women's higher education and the women's rights movement.
