Judith is talented, creative, and driven to accomplish great things. But, alas, she has one "shortcoming" that stands in her way-she's a woman. Set in sixteenth-century England, The Other Shakespeare tells the tale of Judith Shakespeare, older sister to the famous William, as she struggles to develop her talent and gain acceptance in a world that won't recognize her because of her gender. Consistently denied her independence, she's forced to engage in extreme measures to get what she wants out of life-and to make difficult decisions that will shock and surprise you. Written in the vein of character transplant novels like Grendel , Ahab's Wife , and What Happened to Anna K , Lea Rachel's novel brings new life to a character that first appeared in another publication. Judith Shakespeare was originally introduced in acclaimed author Virginia Woolf's masterpiece A Room of One's Own -and now Judith's full story is told in this speculative piece, which answers the ultimate question, "What if Shakespeare had been born a woman?" A must-read for Woolf and Shakespeare fans alike, The Other Shakespeare combines history, social issues, and drama in a compelling story that will thoroughly entertain and enlighten.
