Abstract

"Shakespeare's Sisters" by Ramie Targoff explores the lives and writings of four women who wrote during the Renaissance: Elizabeth Cary, Anne Clifford, Aemilia Lanyer, and Mary Sidney. The book highlights the challenges faced by women writers in Renaissance England, where they were expected to obey and serve men. Targoff provides well-researched details and connects the past to the present, making the book engaging and relevant. By focusing on these women, Targoff aims to correct history's misogyny and give them the recognition they deserve. [Extracted from the article]
