Google, with its doodle on Thursday, marked the 136th birth anniversary of English author Virgina Woolf, one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century and a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. 'I see children running in the garden 'The sound of the sea at night' almost forty years of life, all built on that, permeated by that: so much I could never explain'- these childhood memories inspired the settings and themes of English author Virginia Woolf's powerful stream-of-consciousness narratives, write Google on its website. Her unique literary style established Woolf as one of modern feminism's most influential voices.
