Orlando by Virginia Woolf Discussion – TBD St. Pete

📚 Book Club: Exploring Gender, Time & Identity in Orlando by Virginia Woolf 🌈

Join us for a rich and lively discussion of Virginia Woolf’s groundbreaking novel Orlando — a literary journey that defies gender, spans centuries, and invites us to rethink identity itself.

Originally written as a love letter to Woolf’s close friend and muse Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is a witty, whimsical, and deeply thoughtful story of a protagonist who begins life as a man in Elizabethan England and transforms into a woman — living for over 300 years while navigating changing expectations of gender and society.

This novel has been embraced for decades by feminists, queer thinkers, and literary lovers alike for its fluid portrayal of gender and its celebration of personal freedom. Whether you’re reading it for the first time or revisiting it through a new lens, this is a book that speaks to our time — and to anyone who has ever questioned the boxes they were placed in.

🌀 Expect a welcoming, inclusive space for thoughtful conversation — open to women, LGBTQ+ folks, and allies of all identities.
