Women of will

Women of will
Packer shows that Shakespeare began by writing women as shrews to be tamed or as sweet little things with no independence of thought. Then, with the extraordinary Juliet, there is a dramatic shift: suddenly Shakespeare’s women have depth, motivation, and understanding of life more than equal to that of the men. As Shakespeare ceases to write women as predictable caricatures and starts writing them from the inside, his women become as dimensional, spirited, spiritual, active, and sexual as any of his male characters. Wondering if Shakespeare had fallen in love (Packer considers with whom, and what she may have been like), the author observes that from Juliet on, Shakespeare’s characters demonstrate that when women and men are equal in status and passion, they can—and do—change the world.- Creator

Shakespeare's women
In this book Mann examines the influence of the Elizabethan cross-dressed tradition on the performance and conception of Shakespeare's female roles through an analysis of all 205 extant plays written for the adult theatre. The author shows how Shakespeare exploited the cross-dressed convention as a dramatic medium. He discusses modern critisism of Shakespeare's work, including feminist criticism. The subjects covered in the book are: the age and status of the performers: the erotic ambience (and the charge of homosexuality) in the plays: stage costume and performer ethos: male didacticism and female stereotyping: dramatic empathy and moral ambiguity: sexual violence: and positive representations of young women.- Creator
