Relief from
Writing
After Virginia Woolf wrote each of her
books, she experienced tremendous physical and emotional exhaustion. As a
release, she and her husband opened Hogarth Press and began publishing
books. Visit the Hogarth House at Richmond upon Thames to learn how the
Hogarth Press published important works of the time.

Music of the
Mind
If you could record your every thought,
what would the recording reveal? Read “The String Quartet” for Woolf’s
perception of what an interior monologue might sound like. Listen to how
this character’s internal chatter drowns out even the loudest of violins,
trumpets, and horns.

Votes for
Women!
When British newspapers tired of the
women’s movement, activists employed new tactics to gain publicity and
further their causes. Christabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenney resisted
arrest by kicking and spitting at policemen, Mary Allen and Margaret Damer
Dawson founded their own police force, and Marion Dunlop refused to eat.
Step into the past for a history of British women’s fight for
emancipation.

Virginia Woolf’s imagination, but some women did write during
Shakespeare’s time. Visit A Celebration of Women Writers to meet over a
hundred women who dared to write poetry, plays, essays, and novels during
