Racialized and gendered flights through history: Woolf’s Orlando and Alexie’s Flight | Virginia Woolf Miscellany
This article extends scholarship considering the ways in which Orlando challenges a fixed relationship between sex and gender, exploring how these identities intersect with race. In reading Orlando and Flight together, I argue the interwoven sex and race open space for unfixed identities within the novels’ social and historical contexts.
