It's well-established that "Shakespeare" was a woman, who wrote under a masculine nom de plume because of the horrendous gender biases that prevailed at the time.

She was speaking of herself in her famous line: "a tiger's heart wrapped in a woman's hide."

And Robert Green, who knew the truth of the matter, alluded to this in his "*tiger's* heart wrapped in a *player's* hide."

"Shakespeare's" adoption of a masculine persona was, after all, merely "play" - "hiding," if you will - by a "player," with the latter word having much the same connotation, circa Shake-scene's era, as it does in the American "ghetto" today.
