Van wie was Vita Sackville-West?

Victoria Mary, Lady Nicolson, CH (née Sackville-West; 9 March 1892 – 2 June 1962), usually known as Vita Sackville-West, was an English author and garden designer.

Sackville-West was a successful novelist, poet and journalist, as well as a prolific letter writer and diarist. She published more than a dozen collections of poetry and 13 novels during her life. She was twice awarded the Hawthornden Prize for Imaginative Literature: in 1927 for her pastoral epic, The Land, and in 1933 for her Collected Poems. She was the inspiration for the protagonist of Orlando: A Biography, by her friend and lover Virginia Woolf.

She wrote a column in The Observer from 1946 to 1961 and is remembered for the celebrated garden at Sissinghurst in Kent, created with her husband, Sir Harold Nicolson.

Virginia Woolf (South Kensington (Londen), 25 januari 1882 – Lewes (Sussex), 28 maart 1941) was een Britse schrijfster en feministe. Ze was stichtend lid van de Bloomsburygroep en werd in het interbellum een belangrijke figuur in het literaire leven van Londen.

Violet Trefusis (Londen, 6 juni 1894 - nabij Florence, 29 februari 1972), geboren als Violet Keppel, was een Engels schrijfster en "socialite", lid van de beau monde. Als schrijfster heeft ze weinig erkenning gekregen; ze wordt voornamelijk herinnerd door haar gepassioneerde relatie met de meer gefêteerde schrijfster Vita Sackville-West. Sackville-West verwierf ook grote bekendheid door samen met haar echtgenoot Harold Nicolson de tuinen van hun kasteel Sissinghurst in het graafschap Kent te ontwerpen en vorm te geven.

Mary Barnes Hutchinson (29 March 1889 – 17 April 1977) was a British short-story writer, socialite, model and a member of the Bloomsbury Group.

Mary Margaret Garman Campbell (1898–1979) was the eldest of the seven Garman sisters known for their glamorous, bohemian lifestyles and their many love affairs with famous artists, writers, and musicians of interwar London. She was a member of the Bloomsbury Group and the wife of the radical South African poet Roy Campbell, who attacked the group in The Georgiad (1931), a response to his wife's lesbian affair with Vita Sackville-West.
