"Write me a woman who fights for what she wants." The Dark Lady is a witty and sensual duet that reclaims the story of a fascinating woman who was almost lost to history— Emilia Bassano. Through her eyes, this thrilling love story helps us both understand and challenge our love of Shakespeare. Emilia was multiracial and multilingual, and the first Englishwoman to publish her own poetry. And she may also be the answer to a 400-year-old mystery—just who was the “Dark Lady” that Shakespeare spoke of with such passion in his sonnets?
