Abstract
The year of 1921 was a year of domestic turmoil for Virginia Woolf. In October, her two family servants, Lottie and Nelly, were sick with influenza. Then, in December, they were both in bed again with German measles. In addition to nursing the servants, Woolf was busy with such household chores as cleaning and painting the dining-room, baking bread, and scrubbing down the earth closet. Woolf writes in her diary on 11 December 1921.
