When William Shakespeare's fictitious sister Judith goes to London, she most certainly does not meet with his success (though she was born every bit as gifted as her brother). Men laugh at her when she says she would like to be an actress, as of course women cannot act. She struggles until "at last Nick Greene the actor-manager [takes] pity on her" and gets her pregnant. Tortured by the disagreement between her art and her gender, Judith takes her own life.
