FAQ About Virginia Woolf
Why did Virginia Woolf use pseudonyms for some of her works?
Virginia Woolf occasionally used pseudonyms in her early career to publish reviews and essays, primarily to protect her anonymity and perhaps to avoid gender bias. This was a common practice among female writers during her time, as it allowed them more freedom to express controversial opinions and gain publication opportunities. Eventually, her talent was recognized on its own merits, and her works were published under her real name.
