This year, the Shakespeare Birthday Lecture featured featured Professor Lena Orlin, Professor Lois Potter and Professor Laurie Maguire, chaired by Professor Charlotte Scott, discussing 'Women Who Made Shakespeare.' This one-hour conversation was the culmination of a day during which each contributor had discussed her own recent research about the women in Shakespeare's life and in Shakespeare's local community.
