Being a feminist herself, author Ann-Marie MacDonald’s objective of liberating Shakespeare's female characters from their supposedly unavoidable deaths is a clear example of our role as Canadians to empower the women around us to believe that they are in control of their own destinies for they can oppose the patriarchal
