    S1E03: A [Judith] Shakespearean Tragedy

    What if William Shakespeare had a sister who was an equal match to him in everything? What would a regressive, misogynist society's reaction be to a genius woman? In her seminal feminist text, "A Room Of One's Own", the legendary Virginia Woolf proposed this hypothesis in order to argue for the equal place for woman writers in the pantheon of literature. This episode looks at Woolf's hypothesis about Judith Shakespeare, the poet who is still alive inside everybody.

    S1E02: Out, Out, Damned Spot Of Conformity

    The episode goes in deep to discuss Shakespeare's portrayal of Lady Macbeth. The Bard at times seems highly progressive in how he writes her, but frustratingly falls back to gender-specific stereotypes. Till the last syllable of recorded time, arguments will go on. Lady Macbeth remains iconic. A celebration of her supremacy, and of her towering over the Bard himself.
