- In this book there was one chapter that I focused on called Rules for Wives. This section first introduces the time period of Sixteenth-seventeenth century England, and this chapter quotes alot of the law makers and writers at that time who influenced the culture.This secondary source gave alot of background to the patriarchal mindsets that desired wives to be submissive, obedient and silent.

- This book is clearly dedicated to the study of women in Shakespeare's plays. The part/ section that I am focusing on is the first chapter which is called "Historical Setting for Shakespeare's Women." This section really contributed to my research on political, and religious changes that were happening at the time that effected women. It talks about the Humanist movement for the education of women and the reign of Queen Elizabeth, overall giving a good sense of history that effected women in Early Modern England.

- This book was very specific, and the section within the book I chose is even more specific to the voice of Lady Macbeth within the play. This section called : "The Submerged Feminine Vengeance Narrative in Macbeth" analyzes the force behind Lady Macbeth's scornful words to her Husband. This book focuses on the more cruel aspect of lady Macbeth's words. It also focuses on the dichotomous view of women as either submissive saints, or active evil persuaders.
