"With great sensitivity, this graphic biography of Virginia Woolf paints a detailed portrait of one of the literary giants of the 20th century, showing how closely her life was interwoven with writing. Throughout her life, Virginia Woolf had to confront psychological crises. Nevertheless, the renowned writer left her mark with a sharp pen in a world dominated by men and was a pioneer in addressing issues of emancipation and feminism, sexuality, and gender identity. Her long inner struggle ultimately ended in suicide—yet Virginia Woolf was not a victim, but a strong, combative woman whose brilliance remains visible in her works to this day.
This graphic novel sheds light—perhaps for the first time in this form—on the life of one of the most important female authors of the 20th century."
