Author Birthdays:Adeline Virginia Woolf, born on 25 January in 1882, was an English writer, and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), as well as the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." Stephen Chbosky, who was born in 1970 and shares a birthday with Virginia Woolf, is an American novelist, screenwriter, and film director best known for writing the New York Times bestselling coming of age novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower (1999), as well as for screenwriting and directing the film version of the same book, starring Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, and Ezra Miller.
