Desdemona, If Only You Had Spoken by Christine Bruckner
Contains the monologues of 11 women who speak their minds. The voices are drawn from history and fiction, ancient and modern. Some of the voices are famous because of their association with a famous man - Petrarch's Laura and the wives of Goethe and Luther, whereas others are familiar in their own right - Sappho, the Virgin Mary and Clytemnestra.
