By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult

Young playwright, Melina Green has just written a new work inspired by the life of her Elizbethan ancestor Emilia Bassano. But seeing it performed is unlikely and a theater world where the playing field isn’t level for women. As Melina wonders if she dares risk failure again, her best friend takes the decision out of her hands and submits the play to a festival under a male pseudonym.
