The Death of the Moth and other essays #76832

Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) exposed the difficulties of being a woman writer in her
essay “A Room of One’s Own.” Her novels experimented with time and narrative,
and she is considered a master of the stream-of-consciousness technique. Woolf battled mental illnesses throughout her life, and eventually committed suicide by
drowning herself in 1941, a year before this essay was published. As you read, examine the ways she presents images of life and death.
