Lysistrata

Lysistrata is a comedy originally performed in classical Athens in 411 BC.

A comic account of one woman's extraordinary mission to end the Peloponnesian War.

Lysistrata persuades the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace-a strategy, however, that inflames the battle between the sexes.

The play is notable for being an early expose of sexual relations in a male-dominated society.
