Virginia Woolf is an icon. We who love her know that. Now the BBC has recognized the fact.
The BBC is running a TV series called “Icons,” involving a public vote for one of four nominees in each of seven categories — and Woolf is a candidate in the seventh:
- Leaders
- Explorers
- Scientists
- Entertainers
- Activists
- Sports
- Artists & Writers
Once those seven are chosen, there will be an overall vote for the 20th century’s greatest icon.
Artists and Writers on the air
On Tuesday 29 January at 9 p.m. on BBC2, the Artists & Writers category will feature Woolf, as well as Pablo Picasso, Alfred Hitchcock and Andy Warhol. The program, presented by actress Lily Cole, can be found online after broadcast.
You can vote
Voting begins at the end of each program and the vote is open until 4 p.m. the next day. For Woolf’s category, the voting window is from 10 p.m. Tuesday, 29 January – 4 p.m. Wednesday 30 January, London time. To vote, you will need to create an account. Get more voting information.
