Today marks the 80th anniversary of Virginia Woolf’s death, which is being noted around the globe.
Emma Woolf ruminates
Her great-niece, Emma Woolf, daughter of the late Cecil Woolf and Jean Moorcroft Wilson, has marked this day with the following two articles:
- “Virginia Woolf: Why we’re still afraid to forget the feted writer 80 years after her death” in the March 25 edition of the Daily Express.
- “Virginia Woolf: A Street of One’s Own” in the March 25 edition of the Islington Tribune.

Yay Virginia, say the Italians
The Italian Virginia Woolf Society is holding an online event on Facebook 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. (EDT) today titled “Eviva Virginia,”
And the Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain celebrated Woolf’s work by posting this on their Facebook page:
Facebook tribute from VWSGB
“80 years ago today the world lost a great writer in Virginia Woolf. However, we would prefer to celebrate her life, and the fact that she gave us ten novels, a biography, two feminist treatises, three dozen short stories, enough essays and reviews to fill six chunky volumes, thousands of letters, perhaps the most detailed diary by any writer, several memoirs, three Russian translations, a comic play, a juvenile newspaper, as well as numerous photograph albums. Enough material, that is, to keep Woolfians interested to the present day and beyond.”
