One of the most influential writers of the 20th-century, Virginia Woolf (January 25, 1882 – March 28, 1941) began publishing professionally in 1900 and rose to prominence during the interwar period with a series of novels including Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928)—in which she helped to pioneer the use of stream of consciousness narration as a literary device—as well as the highly influential feminist essay, "A Room of One’s Own" (1929). 30 years after her death by suicide, her work would become central to 1970s feminist criticism and remains influential worldwide, having been translated into over 50 languages. On this final day of Women's History Month, we will hear music inspired by her life, death and legacy by Phillip Glass and Max Richter—and more.
You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon from 1 until 4 on Blue Lake Public Radio.
