Regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century, Adeline Virginia Woolf (25 January 1882 -- 28 March 1941) was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group during the interwar period. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." This is the only surviving recording of Virginia Woolf's voice. It is part of a BBC radio broadcast from April 29th, 1937. The talk was called "Craftsmanship" and was part of a series entitled "Words Fail Me".
