This is a witty, empowering guide to Shakespeare's fiercest female characters. If you've ever thought of the women in Shakespeare's plays as helpless heroines who have no choice but to do as they are told, then get ready to think again. In the pages of this book, you'll encounter a dazzling array of bold, brainy, mischievous and sometimes downright wicked women who refuse to play by anyone's rules. From clever Rosalind to ruthless Lady Macbeth, via some lesser-known but equally captivating ladies, like steadfast Innogen, exasperated Adriana and hilarious Mistress Quickly, this fun, irreverent guide explores the power, passion and most perceptive observations of Shakespeare's characters.
