Opis

This text studies female impersonation and the connections between dramatic and political representation in Shakespeare's plays. The author explores what it means to secure cultural and political representation in patriarchy for women and other oppressed groups. The book centres on the abscence of women and uses the problem of female impersonation in Shakespeare to focus on wider problems in feminism.
