You could look at books about women in Shakespeare; feminists like to focus on the Hippolyta/Theseus relationship. Theseus basically conquered her country and took her by force.

I'm afraid AMSND isn't in there but many of the comedies are:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/As-She-Likes-Shakespeares-Performance/dp/0415096960/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1268332851&sr=8-1

This seems a good basic starting point:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shakespeare-Women-Oxford-Topics/dp/0198186940/ref=pd_cp_b_2

And if you look at versions of the play which have critical notes and introductions, they give you a list of related books to read.
