Should be more about Virginia Woolf

I found the section on Virginia Woolf's life so frustrating that I quit reading it. Most of the text should be moved to an article on her family, and what's here should be pared down to the parts actually about Virgina Woolf. 73.144.196.24 (talk) 19:57, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Agree completely. This article is badly written and very confusing. It reads like a fanfic screenplay. 2600:1010:B051:BBCB:64A5:3867:91BD:6588 (talk) 09:39, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

I disagree. It's all wholly relevant to her life. You're suggesting a new article called "Virgina Woolf's family"?? Where is that done for any other writer? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:39, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Maybe it's just that people like to see their family's names associated with Ms. Woolf. I agree with both IPs. Martinevans123, I don't think a new article is out of the question. Sorry, I added this topic below, and flagged the section. -SusanLesch (talk) 22:15, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Off topic section

Hello. I came here to learn about Ms. Woolf. The very first section "Family origin" under "Life" is roundabout, bringing in everybody except the subject of this article. Thus, I flagged the section. -SusanLesch (talk) 22:12, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

P.S. Now I see I'm not alone and responded to that thread. It is infuriating and exhausting that only after 3,000 words do we discover that Julia died when Ms. Woolf was 13. (Her mother's article says she was 11.) -SusanLesch (talk) 22:25, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Virginia and Leonard

"Leonard became the love of her life and, even though their sexual relationship was questionable... " What does this mean? That we don't know what happened? Or that whoever wrote it questioned its morality? S C Cheese (talk) 19:10, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

sexist language

"bore him a daughter" and "presented him with a child" are quite sexist. I suggest "A child was born to them" or "They had a child." 69.113.75.89 (talk) 20:56, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

"A child was born to them" sounds a bit Biblical to me, but in the process of updating that section I changed it to "they had a daughter". Ligaturama (talk) 12:54, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
