Orlando

A brilliantly satirical look at the English literary tradition, and a still-relevant example of early 20th Century feminist writing.
 
Orlando is a British poet, born under the reign of Elizabeth I, who travels through time, meeting famous figures in English literary history and changing sexes while doing so. In addition to its importance to the feminist literary tradition, it is also highly regarded as being an early, positive depiction of a transgendered person.
 
Though not as famous as some of her other novels, Orlando has a strong following. The main character appeared in Alan Moore’s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
