But I find it extremely inspiring to think of a woman as the true author of Shakespeare, turning patriarchal literary history on its head and forever, completely and entirely, justifying the value of women writers.
As I've said before, Mary, I find that not only uninspiring, but actually anti-feminist. Women writers do not need a bogus Shakespeare authorship theory justify their value. Their value justifies itself. Women writers are not upstart crows who need to be beautified with pilfered feathers. They are accomplished artists in their own right.
