  Consortium</a></p>\n<p>Highly acclaimed&nbsp\;<em>New York Times</em> bes
 tselling&nbsp\;author Jodi Picoult discusses her newest novel\,&nbsp\;<em>
 By Any Other Name</em>.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>In 1581\, Emilia Bassano is allowed
  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 bring he
 r work to the stage. And yet\, creating some of the world&rsquo\;s greates
 t dramatic masterpieces comes at great cost: by paying a man for the use o
 f his name\, she will write her own out of history.&nbsp\;In the present\,
  playwright Melina Green has just written a new work inspired by the life 
 of her Elizabethan ancestor Emilia Bassano. Although the challenges are di
 fferent four hundred years later\, the playing field is still not level fo
 r women in theater. Would Melina&mdash\;like Emilia&mdash\;be willing to f
 orfeit her credit as author\, just for a chance to see her work performed?
 </p>\n<p>Told in intertwining narratives\,&nbsp\;<em>By Any Other Name</em
 >&nbsp\;is a sweeping tale of ambition\, courage\, and desire that asks wh
 at price each woman is willing to pay to see their work live on&mdash\;eve
 n if it means they will be forgotten. Register now to join the wondrous co
 nversation!&nbsp\;</p>\n<h5>About the Author</h5>\n<p>Jodi Picoult is the
