Pack hunter's surname
Woolf is a surname, most notably associated with Virginia Woolf (1882–1941), the English modernist author celebrated for novels like *Mrs Dalloway* and *To the Lighthouse* and for her pioneering stream-of-consciousness technique.
Her extended essay *A Room of One's Own* remains influential in feminist thought.
