This is such an insightful and interesting look at the historical non-binary lens, and how it links back to modern icons today. As you’ve said, we need to stop limiting ourselves with out-dated attitudes about gender. Great read!
What a wonderful way through Styles if bringing Woolf to the present! I can definitely see the parallels and like the way he writes his own narrative. Many of the historical notes here are fascinating--thanks for those. I used to love teaching Orlando to high school students. What a deeply thought provoking and wild text! And the Tilda Swinton version is also fantastic.
Thanks Kathleen! Glad you enjoyed reading. Yes, I studied Orlando as an undergrad and loved the way Woolf plays with gender and history. I will have to check out the Tilda Swinton one. Thanks for reading : )
