Virginia Woolf
(Redirected from Woolf)
Virginia Woolf is known for committing suicide, being the subject of the film The Hours, and being the mother of modernism, in that order. Her To the Lighthouse is traditionally the last book on the Lit Hum syllabus, while her social democratic manifesto Three Guineas sometimes makes it into Contemporary Civilization classes.
Woolf was added to these syllabi following typical complaints that the Core Curriculum only reflected the works of "dead, white males". Unfortunately, so was Mary Wollstonecraft.
