Lysistrata

Aristophanes' hilarious ancient Greek comedy, Lysistrata, delivers a timeless critique of war and a groundbreaking look at the battle of the sexes. Staged in 411 B.C., the play follows the formidable Athenian woman, Lysistrata, who organizes an unprecedented sex strike among the women of all warring Greek states to force their men to negotiate peace. This provocative classic, published by East African Educational Publishers (EAEP), is presented in a scholarly edition designed for students, complete with relevant notes and context to explore its themes of political power, female agency, and the absurdity of conflict.
