8 of 8 people found the following review helpful  The Economic and Social Forces Shaping Shakespeare's Women and Women in the Contemporary World, January 29, 2006 This review is from: Shakespeare and Women (Oxford Shakespeare Topics) (Paperback) In Shakespeare and Women, Phyllis Rackin examines representations of women in historical contexts ranging from their introduction in the early modern English world to their staged presentations in the contemporary Western world. In the process Rackin challenges assumptions that currently influence efforts to understand Shakespeare's representations of women.

Great, insightful, handy, January 21, 2012 This review is from: Shakespeare and Women (Oxford Shakespeare Topics) (Paperback) Great, well-written scholarly book on Shakespeare's female characters and how Elizabethan patriarchy shaped (or didn't shape) the playwright's interpretation of their sex and relations with men. Offers great insight into the Elizabethan time with lot's of historical background and examples. Rackin definitely did her homework with this one. She does drone on at times, but the material is very rich and great for scholarly papers on Shakespeare that are centralized in feminist/historicism theories. Book is quite compact making it very accessible and easy to carry around as well. Great for college students alike (undergraduate and graduate).
