Shakespeare’s Strong Women - The Wit, Wisdom and Wickedness of His Fiercest Female Characters

From the Royal Shakespeare Company, with a foreword by Juliet Stevenson, comes this irreverent and accessible guide to Shakespeare's 'sheroes', in all their wit, wisdom and wickedness. Enjoy strong female characters, both celebrated and lesser known, being sharp, funny and mischievous; revel in their barbed put-downs and coruscating insults - and arm yourself with a few choice lines to deploy when the occasion demands. 

With behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the RSC's performances, as well as illuminating examples of innovation in modern stagings of Shakespeare's work, this guide is both entertaining and educational and would make a great tool for beleaguered English Literature teachers wanting to inject a little enthusiasm into their classes.
