We all know William Shakespeare, the world's most celebrated playwright and how he married a woman named Anne Hathaway, who was also known to some historians as Agnes, of whom he got three children off Hamnet, Susanna and Judith. What people don't know is that there was a woman before Anne. Actually, born after Anne, her younger sister a mere girl 9 years younger than her older, less attractive sister, a girl with long golden hair with the bluest of eyes. An opposite to her sister. Her skin a light porcelain with some freckles littering her nose, some children mistaken her for a princess, so pure and never sad. Susanna Hathaway was her name. The only flaw in her life was that her father, Richard blamed Susanna for his beloved wife, Isabel's, death. Nothing that Susanna done would be good enough for her father, Anne was the golden girl, the obedient, submissive one, who could do no wrong. But to Shakespeare nobody was as perfect as his Susie. Shakespeare famously left in his will his "second-best bed with the furniture" to Anne. Unbeknownst to most people, the first was left to Susanna. How did Shakespeare make such heart wrenching tragedies? And what happened to Susanna? Why did he marry Anne?
