Synopsis
This is the first biography to concentrate exclusively on Woolf's close and inspirational friendships with the key women in her life, including the caregivers of her Victorian childhood who instilled in her a lifelong battle between creativity and convention: her taciturn sister, Vanessa Bell; enigmatic artist Dora Carrington; complex writer Katherine Mansfield; aristocratic novelist Vita Sackville-West; and riotous, militant composer Ethel Smyth.

From the Back Cover
"Vanessa Curtis's portrait of Woolf, her family, and her friends is quite compelling. What I found most distinctive is Curtis's fine appreciation of the emotional tissue that connected Woolf to the women who loved her. . . .Using diaries and letters, Curtis illuminates these varied relationships."-Lynn K. Talbot, Roanoke College, coauthor of Living at the Edge

"If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure-the relationship so secret and private compared with relations to men."-Virginia Woolf in her diary, 1924
