Includes bibliographical references (pages 755-788).
Summary, etc.:
In 1581, Emilia Bassano, a female playwright, isn't allowed to have her work shown in public--so she pays a man for the use of his name: William Shakespeare. In 2024, her descendant Melina Green writes a play about her ancestor Emilia, but can't get it produced in a male dominated theater world. Told in intertwining timelines and rooted in primary historical research, By Any Other Name centers on two women determined to create and succeed--and see their stories live on--despite the prejudices they face. What's changed for women in 400 years--and what hasn't?"-- Back cover.
