Între cele două războaie mondiale, a fost o figură marcantă a societății literare londoneze și membră a grupului Bloomsbury. Virginia Woolf (născută Virginia Stephen) s-a născut la Londra, a crescut și și-a făcut educația într-o familie victoriană clasică.

După moartea tatălui său (Sir Leslie Stephen, redactor și critic literar) în 1904, s-a mutat împreună cu sora sa Vanessa într-o casă din Bloomsbury, unde s-a format cercul de intelectuali cunoscut sub numele de Bloomsbury Group.
