AB  - "Considers alternative readings of Lady Macbeth's femininity and amenorrhea codified by two historical bodies: the male body of Shakespeare's original actor and the pregnant body of Sarah Siddons in 1785 and 1794." Argues that "a barren Lady Macbeth denies the possibility of dynasty through amenorrhea; a pregnant Lady Macbeth's amenorrhea reinforces her fertility." English summary, 353.
