During the interwar period, Woolf was an important part of London's literary and artistic society. In 1915 she published her first novel, "The Voyage Out", through her half-brother's publishing house, Gerald Duckworth and Company. Her best-known works include the novels "Mrs Dalloway" (1925), "To the Lighthouse" (1927), and "" (1928). She is also known for her essays, including "A Room of One's Own" (1929), in which she wrote the much-quoted dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
