This chapter describes the “Inspired by Woolf” panel held in June 2009 as part of the nineteenth annual Virginia Woolf conference. It also provides a transcript of the panel. Three women sat on the stage of Fordham University's Pope Auditorium to discuss the work that they do—work that is heavily influenced by Virginia Woolf. The ages of the women onstage—Ms. Kris Lundberg (artistic director of Shakespeare's Sister Theatre Company), Dr. Susan Sellers (scholar and novelist), and Dr. Ruth Gruber (journalist)—span several generations, and, while they each had followed a different path, all had held Woolf as a compass. The author was of this Forward there as a young woman, a college student, and a writer. She learned that Lundberg, Sellers, and Gruber have each looked to Woolf for direction and have each used the creative legacy that Woolf left as an inspiration and a guide.
