This work by the founding artistic director of the celebrated Shakespeare & Company is everything lovers of the Bard would want.Dont miss!
Library Journal
All my life I have been looking for a book that would tell me everything about Shakespeare. Women of Will is a complete thrill.Utter brilliance, so moving, so intelligent, such passion and force.
Honor Moore, author of The Bishops Daughter
Rarely, if ever, in untold years of my own Shakespeare studies have I experienced a work that leaps from the page into my mind, heart, body, and soul with such luminous, revelatory vibrancy.To ponder the trajectory of Shakespeares evolution in his understanding and portrayal of women, to enter into the tangled, interconnected historical and biographical connections and contexts of Shakespeares life with such precision and aliveness, and to surrender to the immense questions that matter most to us, of power, institutional and cultural structures, the realities of women in every era, the treasure of language, and the mysteries and powers of creativity itself, gave me illumination and pleasure and hope beyond what I can express here.
Martha Andresen, Professor of English, Pomona College
A joy to read. The language is conversationalan easy tone that belies the depth to which Tina Packer is able to reach into the plays to unveil the evolution of Shakespeares awareness of the power inherent in the feminine.This consummate lover of all things Shakespeare delivers a dazzling new message about Shakespeares capacity to learn and grow from observations and interactions with women, and transmute these into characters that become more complex, more true, more powerful. Women of Will is destined to become one of the best-loved books about Shakespeare, never to be filed onto the bookcase, always accessible in case of need.

Women of Will
Impassioned; compelling.Its not just poetry in motion; its thought made flesh.
The New York Times
Brilliant.Fearlessly impassioned acting that youll remember for as long as you live.
The Wall Street Journal
Boundless and irresistible. The result is a bit like having a time-traveling speed-date with Shakespeare and his work, which leaves you wanting more.
Associated Press
Packer knows her stuff.
New York Post
A beguiling, enlightening oddball of a performance and master class in Shakespeare and the socioeconomic psychology of gender politics.
Newsday
An exhaustive analysis of the feminine figure in Shakespeares work, from Rosalind to Lady Macbeth.
Boston Herald
Packer puts together a comprehensive and compelling program that packs together a lot of relevant history and interpretation, as well as a hefty dose of fine acting.

To Elayne Bernstein, whose spirit
and family carried us through so much;
and Sarah Hancock, who continues the journey
Somewhere in the midst of my forty years of directing Shakespeares plays, acting in quite a few of them (never at the same timedirecting and acting occupy different parts of the brain, and I find it impossible to be in both states at once), somewhere in the midst of this I realized that the Shakespeare who wrote The Taming of the Shrew was not the same Shakespeare who wrote The Tempest; that the Shakespeare of Henry IV Part 1 was very different from the Shakespeare of
