Line 181: Virginia Woolf had completed a penultimate draft of her first novel ''[[The Voyage Out]]'' before her wedding, but undertook large-scale alterations to the manuscript between December 1912 and March 1913. The work was subsequently accepted by her half-brother Gerald Duckworth's publishing house, and she found the process of reading and correcting the proofs extremely emotionally difficult.{{sfn\|Lee\|1997a\|p=321-322}} This led to one of several breakdowns over the subsequent two years; Woolf attempted suicide on 9 September 1913 with an overdose of [[Veronal]], being saved with the help of Maynard Keynes' surgeon brother [[Geoffrey Keynes]] who drove Leonard to [[St Bartholomew's Hospital]] to fetch a stomach pump.{{sfn\|Harris\|2011\|pp=52,54}} Woolf's illness led to Duckworth delaying the publication of ''The Voyage Out'' until 26 March 1915.{{sfn\|Lee\|1997a\|p=322}} In the autumn of 1914 the couple moved to a house on [[Richmond Green]],{{sfn\|Lee\|1997a\|p=325}} and in late March 1915 ~~the couple~~they moved to Hogarth House, also in [[Richmond, London\|Richmond]], after which they named [[Hogarth Press\|their publishing house]] in 1917.{{sfn\|Lee\|1997a\|pp=346-347, 358}} The decision to move to London's suburbs was made for the sake of Woolf's health, and the couple would spend the [[First World War]] between Richmond and Asham.{{sfn\|Lee\|1997a\|p=346}} Many of Woolf's circle of friends were against the war, and Woolf herself opposed it from a standpoint of pacifism and anti-censorship.{{sfn\|Lee\|1997a\|pp=339-341,345}} Leonard was exempted from the [[Military Service Act 1916\|introduction of conscription in 1916]] on medical grounds.{{sfn\|Todd\|1999\|p=13}} The Woolfs employed two servants at the recommendation of [[Roger Fry]] in 1916; Lottie Hope worked for a number of other Bloomsbury Group members, and [[Nellie Boxall]] would stay with them until 1934.{{sfn\|Lee\|1997a\|pp=349-350}} === Memoir Club (1920–1941) ===
