A sad anniversary to remember a gifted writer. Here is the letter she penned to her husband Leonard before she filled her overcoat pockets with rocks and walked into the River Ouse to drown.. In 1929, Virginia Woolf's essay "A Room of One's Own" imagined a literal and figurative space for women writers.
