As Virginia Woolf's most famous quote says, a woman must have money and a Google Doodle if she is to write fiction.
OK, actually having a room first is probably more important for writing novels. But, Woolf just got a Google Doodle of her own to celebrate her 136th birthday. And, it is nothing short of beautiful.

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was a British writer of novels and essays. Some of her most famous works are Mrs Dalloway, To The Lighthouse, A Room of One's Own, and Orlando. Woolf is regarded as one of the most influential modernists of the twentieth century, and one of the first novelists to use stream of consciousness as a literary device.
As the Google blog notes, Woolf's nonfiction works—including A Room of One’s Own—demonstrated her "unflinching feminist perspective," and explored women of the age's struggle for independence.

The Google blog also showed the illustrator's early sketches, in which she toyed with various different designs for the doodle.
Happy birthday, Virginia!
