Woolf in 1902

by George Charles Beresford 

Portrait of Virginia Woolf (January 25, 1882 – March 28, 1941), a British author and feminist, with her chignon.

A black and white portrait photograph of Virginia Woolf shown in soft three-quarter profile facing left. She has dark hair swept up and gathered into a low, loose chignon at the nape of her neck. Her features are delicate — a long, fine nose, deep-set eyes with a contemplative, faraway gaze, and a gentle mouth. She wears a light-colored blouse with a soft, slightly ruffled or gathered neckline.

Opinion | Ida B. Wells and the Campaign Against Lynching Richard Campbell writes about how Ida B. Wells paved the way for civil-rights activists who came after her.

OPINION: "A pioneer in investigative journalism, [Ida B. Wells] developed data collection and interview techniques, single-handedly waging a nationwide anti-lynching campaign. Historians say she was the most famous Black woman in the U.S. during her lifetime," Richard Campbell writes.
