Woolf's musings on gender, colonialism, and the way the world treats people dissimilarly despite not being so dissimilar themselves. Orlando learns that living in the body of a wealthy nobleman creates a totally different social experience than in the body of a noblewoman. Woolf takes this concept further into the intersectionality of sexism, racism, and colonialism by illustrating the difference in treatment Orlando experiences as a woman living in the Romani colony contrasting to their experience as a woman on the ship sailing back to England. This novel is a beautiful tale, spanning centuries, that can be read with just as much potency as the day it was written.
