Virginia Woolf: The Will to Create as a Woman

Virginia Woolf: The Will to Create as a Woman

Gruberâ€™s groundbreaking study of the work and legacy of Virginia Woolfâ€”an enduring feminist analysis pairing two of the twentieth centuryâ€™s most extraordinary writers

In 1932, Ruth Gruber earned her PhDâ€”the youngest person ever to do soâ€”with a stunning doctoral dissertation on Virginia Woolf. Published in 1935, the paper was the first-ever feminist critique of Woolfâ€™s work and inspired a series of correspondences between the two writers. It also led to Gruberâ€™s eventual meeting with Woolf, which she recounted six decades later in Virginia Woolf: The Will to Create as a Woman.
Â
Described by Gruber as â€œthe odyssey of how I met Virginia Woolf, and how her life and work became intertwined with my life,â€ Virginia Woolf is a clear and insightful portrait of one of modern literatureâ€™s most innovative authors, written by one of Americaâ€™s most remarkable journalists.
