On 23 September 1925, Virginia Woolf wrote to Vita SackvilleWest: 'if you'll make me up, I'll make you.' In Desiring Women, Karyn Sproles argues that the two writers in fact 'made' each other. Woolf and SackvilleWest produced some of the most vibrant and acclaimed work of their respective careers during their passionate affair, and Sproles demonstrates how this body of work was a collaborative project a partnership in which they promised to reinvent one another.Sproles argues that in all they wrote during their affair essays, criticism, novels, poems, biographies, and personal etters Woolf and SackvilleWest struggled to represent their desire for one another and to resist the social pressures that would deny their passion. At the centre of this literary conversation is Orlando, Woolf's biography of SackvilleWest. Sproles restores Orlando to the context of Woolf and SackvilleWest's discussion of gender and sexuality and demonstrates its importance in Woolf's oeuvre. Sexy and provocative, Desiring Women reimagines Woolf and SackvilleWest as daring, funny, beautiful, and bent on resisting the repression of women's desires.
