One of Virginia Woolf ’s most remarkable works, Orlando, is written as a historical biographypaying homage to the family of Woolf ’s friend, Vita Sackville-West. Narrating the adventures of apoet who goes from being a man to a woman, and mostly read as a feminist work today, Orlandoexplores the boundaries of gender and sexuality and takes the readers into the journey of love andacceptance through time. Satirizing Victorian literature as it exists, she successfully brings out thehypocrisy that is apparent in that era and beautifully crafts a tale of the bold and courageous lifeof her protagonist.
