The Will to Create as a Woman
Ruth Gruber
About This Book
This groundbreaking study of the work and legacy of Virginia Woolf is also an account of the intertwined lives of two extraordinary women.
In 1932, Ruth Gruber earned her PhDâthe youngest person ever to do soâwith a stunning doctoral dissertation on Virginia Woolf. Published in 1935, the paper was the first-ever feminist critique of Woolf's work and inspired a series of correspondences between the two writers. It also led to Gruber's eventual meeting with Woolf, which she recounted six decades later in Virginia Woolf: The Will to Create as a Woman.Described by Gruber as "the odyssey of how I met Virginia Woolf, and how her life and work became intertwined with my life, " Virginia Woolf is a clear and insightful portrait of one of modern literature's most innovative authors, written by one of America's most remarkable journalists.
