Rose,
I can understand your confusion. Woolf did write every novel very differently - so some don't make as much sense as others.
Good point on the mock biography. Those who have a copy in book form may have noticed the bibliography at the back which Woolf purposely placed there to make it like a biography.
I think your point on a woman struggling to get out is a good one. Like I've said, Orlando doesn't seem comfortable as a man, so he is trying to find what he is comfortable as.
