Shakespears Sister

Siobhan: “We sat down and had a coffee, after 26 years of not talking to each other.”

Marcy: “There was no stopping this. It was like this snowball that just kept on gathering more and more speed.”

In the very beginning, Shakespears Sister was formed by Siobhan in 1988 after she had left Bananarama during their peak Stock Aitken Waterman era. Siobhan adapted this new band name from The Smiths single “Shakespeare’s Sister”, its own title borrowed from a 1928 Virginia Woolf essay and lecture, arguing for the space in culture and society that had been historically denied to women. (The name lost the final “e” of its first word in a happy accident when it was misspelled in a woodcut made as artwork for the first Shakespears Sister single sleeve; it subsequently surrendered its comma to pop music.)
