By Any Other Name, Audiobook 🎧 by Jodi Picoult

Melina Green, a contemporary playwright, has just completed a new work based on the life of her Elizabethan ancestor, Emilia Bassano. Facing a theater industry that often overlooks female creators, Melina doubts her play will ever be produced. Her doubts are compounded until her best friend, without consulting her, submits the play under a male pseudonym to a prestigious festival.

In the year 1581, Emilia Bassano is under the guardianship of English nobility, where she receives an exceptional education in languages and writing. Despite her intelligence and creativity, Emilia is silenced by the expectations of her time. When she becomes the mistress of the Lord Chamberlain, she recognizes the influence of theater and devises a plan to bring her own play to life by enlisting the help of an actor named William Shakespeare.

"By Any Other Name" intertwines the lives of two women, centuries apart, both striving to break free from the limitations imposed on them. This novel, deeply grounded in historical sources, sheds light on the untold story of Emilia Bassano, ensuring her contributions to literature are acknowledged.
