To the Lighthouse is a deeply personal novel, a novel in which Woolf comes to terms with her past in a way that I believe liberated her to speak and write about the subject of women in a way that she could never have done before. The basic setting of “To the Lighthouse” owes so much to Virginia’s recollection of her childhood. Moreover, there are incidents and general recollections that also find their way into the novel.

Probably because the novel itself focuses on the daily life of a woman and her children. So, it's easy to presume that it symbolizes Virginia's own personal life.
