His name? William Shakespeare. Present day Manhattan . Young playwright Melina Green is determined to see one of her shows make the stage, but it appears a woman’s voice is still worth less than a man’s. So inspired by the life of her ancestor Emilia Bassano, she takes a lesson from history and submits a play under a male pseudonym . . . Women have long been written out of history, but have they held the pen all along?
