Dear Woolfians,

Issue 100 of the Virginia Woolf Miscellany (Spring/Summer 2023) is now in its final stages of production (note: the current online version is a next-to-final draft, so it's best not to download it for your files at this point—the final version will be uploaded soon). The current version of the issue can be accessed at:

If you are a current member of the International Virginia Woolf Society, you have the option of receiving a print copy of the Miscellany (as a member, you can also opt out from receiving a print copy). If you wish to renew your membership, join the IVWS, or donate to the IVWS, go to https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://v-woolf-society.com/membership/__;!!KGKeukY!1Orh8pUWxf-eTha6NjzyJj9GTqrP1FxoPOfw5IprZwjjKDug-cVoK__fItpZbCwGO1vx80dotctWJgPMV4O6Oy0D7eoJwA$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://v-woolf-society.com/membership/__;!!KGKeukY!3FLS_vHXXHcaha0JEGlXPDhSpXXsIp0-o0sjWmPh-DRc6ZVkxlE8dlEsYGGH71qwKMfwUC92ZjMuLlDkjLtzkjOp8lA_$>. (Note: The Miscellany was founded as independent journal, but it is affiliated with the IVWS.) If you are registered in the VWoolf listserve and are also a member of the IVWS, then you will receive two versions of this email due to cross-posting (apologies for the duplication!).

Below is part of the overview I have provided on the WordPress webpage and describes the various features of this particular issue.
