The Taming of the Shrew – William Shakespeare (1623 (first folio print))

What's inside: If you think you know because you’ve seen 10 Things I Hate about You, then you don’t deserve to know.

A sample: 

Kate: “I am ashamed that women are so simple

To offer war where they should kneel for peace,

Or seek for rule, supremacy, and sway,

When they are bound to serve, love, and obey.

Why are our bodies soft and weak and smooth,

Unapt to toil and trouble in the world,

But that our soft conditions and our hearts

Should well agree with our external parts?” (5.2.166-173).
