[Vwoolf] Two obituaries on Anne Olivier Bell and one snippet from an article on an all-women exclusive club

[Neverow, Vara S.]

Greetings,

These items popped up in a Google Alert today, but the two obituaries were published in July 27, so I am not sure why they didn't arrive in my mailbox until mid-August. I don't know if others have seen these remembrances, so I am sharing them. The third link is to an article on "ultra-chic" all-women in a private club that is now chaired by a man. The article mentions Woolf so I pasted in the quotation below the link.

The obituary from the Independent is remarkably in-depth. It's also a very interesting read.

Somewhat belatedly awarded an MBE, aged 97 in 2014, Anne Olivier Bell was far from impressed but took it in typically good humour. “Commander of the British Empire – that’s quite grand,” she joked. “‘Member’ is not worth having.” George Clooney’s film The Monuments Men had just ...


This obituary was published prior to Anne Olivier Bell's funeral.

Anne Olivier Bell, a remarkable art historian and scholar, has died peacefully at her home in Firle at the age of 102.


And...here's the quotation below from the article on "ultra-chic" women:

AllBright, is based in an elegant five-storey townhouse in Bloomsbury, central London<http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/london/index.html>, and serves as a place for working women from across all major industries to work, relax and socialise. . . .

The location itself is significant, paying tribute to the lasting influence of Virginia Woolf and the 'Bloomsbury' set, with each floor taking its name from a key female member including Lopokova, Morell, Bell, and Woolf.

Quotes from Woolf are incorporated into the interior design on each floor.

I hope this material is of interest.
