Bold & Brave Women from Shakespeare green as seductive or as mysteriousTwelve of Shakespeare's best known heroines are richly given life in this beautifully illustrated book. From Juliet leaning out of her balcony, to the battle ready Margaret of Anjou, the women of Shakespeare are gloriously celebrated on their own terms.
