<DIV><DIV><b>Gruber&rsquo;s groundbreaking study of the work and legacy of Virginia Woolf&mdash;an enduring feminist analysis pairing two of the twentieth century&rsquo;s most extraordinary writers</b></div><DIV><BR></div><DIV>In 1932, Ruth Gruber earned her PhD&mdash;the youngest person ever to do so&mdash;with a stunning doctoral dissertation on Virginia Woolf. Published in 1935, the paper was the first-ever feminist critique of Woolf&rsquo;s work and inspired a series of correspondences between the two writers. It also led to Gruber&rsquo;s eventual meeting with Woolf, which she recounted six decades later in <i>Virginia Woolf: The Will to Create as a Woman</i>. </div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Described by Gruber as &ldquo;the odyssey of how I met Virginia Woolf, and how her life and work became intertwined with my life,&rdquo; <i>Virginia Woolf </i>is a clear and insightful portrait of one of modern literature&rsquo;s most innovative authors, written by one of America&rsquo;s most remarkable journalists.</div></div>
