Some of her most notable works include "Mrs. Dalloway," "To the Lighthouse," and "Orlando." Woolf's contributions to literature include her innovative approach to character development and narrative technique, as well as her exploration of the inner lives of her characters. Her most famous work, "Mrs. Dalloway," is considered a masterpiece of modernist literature and a reflection of Woolf's unique literary voice. Woolf's impact on the literary genre is undeniable, as she paved the way for future generations of writers to experiment with form and style in their own works.
