Orlando I have always heard of as "fantastic tale with gender-changing main character" but otoh, I've hung around a lot on the edge of queer/feminist aware and/or studying circles... My very first exposure to Virginia Woolf was through the ads for the musical (or is it a play?) Vem är rädd för Virginia Woolf? (Who's afraid of VW?) which was staged in Stockholm when I was a kid. So, I've always pictured her as a "feminist classic author" when I encountered her again because, err, that's what I imagined her to be due to the name of the play.

And then I read A room of ones own and realized that she was Pretty Damn Snarky, which was a nice discovery.
