Virginia Woolf's Women by Vanessa Curtis

Virginia Woolf's Women by Vanessa Curtis

This is the first biography to concentrate exclusively on Woolf's close and inspirational friendships with the key women in her life, including the caregivers of her Victorian childhood who instilled in her a lifelong battle between creativity and convention: her taciturn sister, Vanessa Bell; enigmatic artist Dora Carrington; complex writer Katherine Mansfield; aristocratic novelist Vita Sackville-West; and riotous, militant composer Ethel Smyth.

"Vanessa Curtis's portrait of Woolf, her family, and her friends is quite compellingWhat I found most distinctive is Curtis's fine appreciation of the emotional tissue that connected Woolf to the women who loved her. . . Using diaries and letters, Curtis illuminates these varied relationships."
—Lynn K. Talbot, Roanoke College, coauthor of Living at the Edge
