Background

Virginia and Leonard Woolf marry
On August 10, 1912, Virginia Stephen, 30, marries Leonard Woolf, 31, at a registry office in London.
Virginia Woolf, born in 1882, grew up surrounded by intellectuals. Her father was a writer and philosopher, and her mother was a British aristocrat. The family developed close friendships with other intellectuals and writers. Their circle of friends came to be called the Bloomsbury group, a leisured set associated with progressive intellectual ideas and sexual liberty: Many of the group, including Woolf herself, were bisexual or homosexual.
