Virginia Woolf's works were significantly influenced by personal tragedies throughout her life. The death of her mother when she was just 13 deeply affected her emotional state and shaped her future writing themes, including loss and mental health. Additionally, Woolf experienced struggles with depression and mental illness, which permeated her literature and sparked her advocacy for women's rights and mental health awareness. These experiences culminated in her iconic modernist texts, such as “Mrs. Dalloway” and “To the Lighthouse,” exploring the complexities of the human psyche.
