Page 1 Introduction Among the extraordinary quantity of writings about Bloomsbury that have recently pressed her into eminence can be found a number of journals and newsletters devoted exclusively to Woolf and her circle, founded in the main by women who are apt to be feminists and who frequently (though by no means always) indulge themselves in minute worryings of the details of Woolf's life, visiting Monks House, rifling through her papers, rubbing elbows with Quentin Bell, and then descending from this Parnassus to write reminiscences of tiresome inconsequence. (Harold Fromm "Virginia Woolf: Art and Sexuality") Women can't write. Women can't paint. (Charles Tansley in To the Lighthouse) In her essay on "The New Biography," first published in the New York Herald Tribune
