If William Shakespeare had been a woman...
If he had been a woman, his life would have been harder because being a woman in his era was something very hard. Not only because women's rights were non existent, but also because they were offered few jobs and less opportunities. If he had wanted to go to school, he would have had to fight to be able to go because usually families didn't want their daughters to study, only their sons were able to study. It would have been impossible for him to be a writer if he had tried to get into the theater world being a woman. And if somebody had supported his work or plays, people wouldn't have accepted him. It definetely had been a disaster for literature's history. It would have missed outstanding plays like "Romeo and Juliet", "Hamlet", "Macbeth"...
