After graduating the secondary school in Mažeikiai Virgilija Stonytė studied Lithuanian language and literature in Vilnius Pedagogical Institute. She gradueted the institute in 1984 and since then she is a teacher in secondary school. Stonytė was familiar with professor Vanda Zaborskaitė since 1980. As a family member Stonytė participated in various events and was involved in networks of that time intelligentsia. According to her there were to main annual events that gathered a close group of intellectual: the birthday and anniversary of death of Lithuanian writer Vincas Mykolaitis-Putinas. During these and other meetings, members of trusted network freely discussed many political and important cultural issues, shared their opinions and made verbal strategies how to support informal cultural initiatives. Stonytė thinks that Vanda Zaborskaitė was one of the leading person in that time cultural opposition at least because of tree reasons. First of all, she experienced persecution of the regime during 50's and early 60's. Secondly, as professor of literature Zaborskaitė promoted importance of poet Maironis. Thirdly, she was in touch with some catholic priests and kept close correspondention with them.
After death of prof. Zaborskaitė, Stonytė inherited a huge private archive that holds personal correspondetion, manuscripts, dairy of Zaborskaitė. Understanding big importance for history of culture Stonytė started to collaborate with scientists of Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore in order to handle this archive and to publish books about Vanda Zaborskaitė.
According to Stonytė, cultural opposition is related with search of autentic national culture, keeping and understanding its importance.
