The first attempt by a woman to examine the traits of twenty-three heroines from Shakespeare's plays was "Characteristics of Women" (1832) by Anna Jameson. In this book, feminist, art historian, and English writer Jameson offers fresh and perceptive interpretations of Shakespeare's female characters while addressing issues with women's participation in public life and education.

About the author

Anna Brownell Jameson

Anna Brownell Jameson was an Anglo-Irish writer whose work joined travel narrative, literary criticism, art history, and arguments about women’s education and labor. The Diary of an Ennuyee grew from a European journey she made with a pupil and appeared anonymously in 1826, combining observations of France and Italy with a fictionalized diary voice.
