By Any Other Name A Novel By Jodi Picoult

Melina Green, a talented yet relatively unknown playwright, has always found solace in the written word. Her plays, although critically praised, have never gained the mainstream success she yearns for. The world of theater, as she quickly learned, is not a welcoming place for women. Despite the supposed progress in gender equality, Melina often feels the weight of an industry that favors male voices. It's not just about getting her work produced; it's about having it taken seriously.

As Melina sits in her small, cluttered apartment in New York City, she stares blankly at her computer screen. Her latest script, a work that has consumed her thoughts for months, remains unfinished. The inspiration for this play came from a discovery that should have invigorated her creative spirit: a connection to her Elizabethan ancestor, Emilia Bassano. Yet, rather than propelling her forward, the knowledge seems to have shackled her, intensifying her creative block.
