About the Author:
VIRGINIA WOOLF was born in 1882. She was frequently subject to breakdowns, due to a traumatic adolescence, and fearing another such attack, drowned herself in 1941. Many of her prodigious fictional works are available in Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics, such as Jacob's Room, Flush, and A Room of One's Own.
Synopsis:
First published in 1974, this is the impossible fantasy of Orlando, whose life takes her through three centuries as both a man and woman. Triumphing over anatomy in her ability to choose her own sexual destiny, this is a story full of imagination, perception and wit.
