Today in 1882 the world was given Virginia Woolf. Her independent and artistic self-expression are a legacy to writing and women in the 20th and now 21st Century, it's hard to imagine the internet today without her guidance and support.
In a 1921 letter to Katherine Mansfield she wrote, "It seems to me very important that women should learn to write."
Something I think we can all agree with.
