Woolf existing covers research

For my 3 Penguin Book covers I decided not to base my series on a genre of writing, but instead covers for a prolific author.

In researching Penguin modern classic books I discovered that Virginia Woolf was one of the most frequent authors names popping up on the list of books in the series. Researching into Virginia Woolf was eye opening as I found out about her educated and interesting life, with bouts of mental illness and a heavy interest in feminism and lesbian themes.

Books chosen

Orlando is perhaps the most interesting with the protagonist of the story randomly switching sexes and becoming a female from a male.

A Room of One's Own is a feminist lecture and focuses on the quote: 'A woman must have money and a room of her own to write.' 

Mrs Dalloway is a fictional story featuring a man and a woman who's paths cross.
