It makes prominent the differences in identities and circumstances between Ahmed’s complainants and Shakespeare’s. It analyses Ahmed’s style and the hope for change that her writerly activism offers, alongside the Young Woman’s use of objects, tears, and other women’s voices to make her complaint heard.
