Woolf had a number of close relationships with women. It is believed there was only one sexual relationship, which was with Vita Sackville-West, on whom she based the protagonist of her book "Orlando." Sackville-West's son described the novel as "the longest and most charming love letter in literature." "Orlando" was made into a movie in 1993.
