One name. Two timelines. A whole lot of stolen genius.
In 1581, Emilia Bassano is too smart, too bold, and too silenced for the time she lives in. She's a poet, a lover, and—depending on who you ask—the real writer behind some guy named Shakespeare.
Fast-forward to now: Melina Green is a modern-day playwright who just had her work submitted under a man’s name. Spoiler: it gets picked up.
By Any Other Name is for the girlies who are tired of watching their ideas get “borrowed,” erased, or rewritten. It’s for those who’ve been underestimated, overlooked, and still managed to set the stage on fire.
This book gives:
-
✍️ Literary theft, then and now
-
🎭 Historical drama meets modern rage
-
👑 Feminist reclamation arc
📖 Condition: Gently-used hardcover, no dust jacket. She’s still loud, proud, and ready to burn it all down—metaphorically (mostly).
🫶 If you cried during Lessons in Chemistry or screamed through The Other Black Girl, this one is feminist fire with a dual-timeline bite. 😭
