Exploring themes of gender and identity, this novel follows Orlando, a man who mysteriously transforms into a woman at thirty and lives for over three centuries. Set against a backdrop of English history, the narrative satirizes literary conventions while reflecting Woolf's relationship with Vita Sackville-West. Initially dismissed as mere gossip, it has since gained acclaim as a feminist classic and a significant work in modernist literature, often featured in gender studies courses. The book's enduring relevance highlights its innovative exploration of fluidity in gender and time.
