A portrait of Virginia Woolf, including a recreation of the furor around the 1910 and 1912 post-Impressionist exhibits, documentation of the Woolfs' contribution to the creation of the League of Nations, the recently discovered letters of Virginia Woolf to Vita Sackville-West, and the actual 1940 Gestapo arrest list that shows the Nazis' intention to arrest Leonard and Virginia Woolf.
