In this episode we talk about the great feminist icon, Virginia Woolf. Born in 1882, Virginia was an influential English writer and a central figure in the modernist literary movement. Known for her innovative narrative techniques, such as stream of consciousness, her notable works include A Room of One’s Own, Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and Orlando. Woolf explored themes such as identity, mental illness, and the inner lives of women, profoundly shaping 20th-century literature. In this episode I interview Malu, a student at the Official School of Languages and mention where you can listen to the only surviving recording of Virginia Woolf’s voice.
