"....the title was an extremely clever lateral reference to Virginia Woolf's 1928 feminist thesis "A Room of One's Own", in wich she argues that if Shakespeare had had a sister who was every bit his creative equal, her sex would have denied her the privilege of his education. As a woman, presupposes Woolf, she would also never have been allowed to enter the theatre, but instead would have ended up abused, exploited and ridiculed for sharing her brother's ambition. To than end, said Woolf, Shakespeare's sister would have been driven to end her misery by committing suicide."
