"Herland and The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman could intrigue you if you're drawn to thought-provoking feminist literature. Gilman's vision of a women-only utopia in "Herland" is a bold exploration of societal norms and gender roles. It's an invitation to ponder what a world without men might look like, challenging conventions in a way that's still relevant today. Meanwhile, "The Yellow Wallpaper," often celebrated for its haunting portrayal of a woman's descent into madness, expertly critiques the treatment of women's mental health in the early 20th century. Both works together provide a potent double-feature of progressive ideas and engrossing storytelling.

The book offers a rich exploration of gender and sexuality while also examining the experience of women through different historical eras and societal expectations. Overall, Orlando is a beautifully written and thought-provoking novel that can leave a lasting impact on anyone who reads it.
