Step into Spring with us as we chat with t he highly acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult about h er newest novel\, By Any Other Name. \;
\nIn 1581\, Emilia Bassa no&mdash\;like most young women of her day&mdash\;is allowed no voice of h er own. But as the Lord Chamberlain&rsquo\;s mistress\, she has access to all theaters in England and finds a way to secretly bring her work to the stage. And yet\, creating some of the world&rsquo\;s greatest dramatic mas terpieces comes at great cost: by paying a man for the use of his name\, s he will write her own out of history.
\nIn the present\, playwright Melina Green has just written a new work inspired by the life of her Eliza bethan ancestor Emilia Bassano. Although the challenges are different four hundred years later\, the playing field is still not level for women in t heater. Would Melina&mdash\;like Emilia&mdash\;be willing to forfeit her c redit as author\, just for a chance to see her work performed?
\nTol d in intertwining narratives\, By Any Other Name is a sweeping tale of amb ition\, courage\, and desire that asks what price each woman is willing to pay to see their work live on&mdash\;even if it means they will be forgot ten.
