    About this ebook

    The Voyage Out was Virginia Woolf's first novel, published in 1915 when she was around 33 years old. Written during a particularly bad period in her life, she attempted suicide for the second time shortly after it was published. The work itself tells the story of Rachel Vinrace, who goes to South America on her father's ship. Her meetings with other passengers lead to a journey of self-discovery. One of the characters, Clarissa Dalloway, also appears in Woolf's later novel, Mrs Dalloway.

    Virginia Woolf

    Virginia Woolf was born in 1882, the youngest daughter of the Victorian writer Leslie Stephen. After her father's death, Virginia moved with her sister Vanessa (later Vanessa Bell) and two of her brothers, to 46 Gordon Square, which was to be the first meeting place of the Bloomsbury Group. Virginia married Leonard Woolf in 1912, and together they established the Hogarth Press. Virginia also published her first novel, The Voyage Out, in 1912, and she subsequently wrote eight more, several of which are considered classics, as well as two books of seminal feminist thought. Woolf suffered from mental illness throughout her life and committed suicide in 1941.
