Albany, NY – Author Victoria Glendinning's new biography, "Leonard Woolf: A Life," examines the man best known as the husband of troubled novelist Virginia Woolf. Glendinning talks to host Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina about Leonard Woolf's own distinguished life as a writer, publisher and political activist. Glendinning also shares her thoughts on how her subject was briefly mischaracterized by the early feminist movement and Woolf's familiarity with suicidal personalities.
