Mrs Herbert Duckworth was Virginia Woolf's mother. Mrs Duckworth
married Virginia Woolf's father after her husband died. She brought
two of her children from her previous marriage to the household when
she married Mr Woolf. One of these boys was the older half brother
who molested Virginia and her sister Vanessa when they were small.
