One of Virginia Woolf ?s most remarkable works, Orlando, is written as a historical biography
paying homage to the family of Woolf ?s friend, Vita Sackville-West. Narrating the adventures of a
poet who goes from being a man to a woman, and mostly read as a feminist work today, Orlando
explores the boundaries of gender and sexuality and takes the readers into the journey ofove and
acceptance through time. Satirizing Victorianiterature as it exists, she successfully brings out the
hypocrisy that is apparent in that era and beautifully crafts a tale of the bold and courageousife
of her protagonist.
