" Reading is a beautiful paradise that can take a person to a whole new world in a whole new time period. It promotes imagination and stimulates the mind.

In William Shakespeare’s comedy A Mid Summer Night’s Dream, he makes a point to interject strong female leads who challenge the rules of patriarchy, in hopes that women at the time of the play’s production will too challenge the patriarchal society in which they are submerged in.

Unsurprisingly, Hermia and Helena—the two young heroines of the play—are fuelled by the mistreatment of their male superiors and fight to challenge the society they find themselves ensnared within. All the while Hippolyta and Titania at first attempt to challenge their husbands and grooms to be but…
