Orlando

I recently read Virginia Woolf' s book Orlando which was published in 1928. I am familiar with some of Mrs. Woolf's work, and this book didn't disappoint. It is the story of a man who wakes up as a woman three decades later. It was here that the book became much clearer. Orlando learns what it is to be in a woman's shoes and the things expected of women. Orlando is in the 16th one day then wakes up in 19th century the next. 

Orlando learned much about the the aspects of femininity. It speaks to me as a transgender woman and the things I had to learn. I wonder if Virginia Woolf was dealing with some of the same issues as Orlando? 

I would recommend reading Orlando to anyone and will make the book a staple part of my personal library. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Orlando an eight.
