 oult about her newest novel\,&nbsp\;By Any Other Name.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>In 1
 581\, Emilia Bassano&mdash\;like most young women of her day&mdash\;is all
 owed no voice of her own. But as the Lord Chamberlain&rsquo\;s mistress\, 
 she has access to all theaters in England and finds a way to secretly brin
 g her work to the stage. And yet\, creating some of the world&rsquo\;s gre
 atest dramatic masterpieces comes at great cost: by paying a man for the u
 se of his name\, she will write her own out of history.</p>\n<p>In the pre
 sent\, playwright Melina Green has just written a new work inspired by the
  life of her Elizabethan ancestor Emilia Bassano. Although the challenges 
 are different four hundred years later\, the playing field is still not le
 vel for women in theater. Would Melina&mdash\;like Emilia&mdash\;be willin
 g to forfeit her credit as author\, just for a chance to see her work perf
 ormed?</p>\n<p>Told in intertwining narratives\,&nbsp\;By Any Other Name&n
 bsp\;is a sweeping tale of ambition\, courage\, and desire that asks what 
 price each woman is willing to pay to see their work live on&mdash\;even i
 f it means they will be forgotten. Register now to join the wondrous conve
 rsation!&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><br />About the Author:&nbsp\;Jodi Picoult is the
