Written in 391 BC, it’s a wonderfully fun play, a comic fantasy about women being in charge of government and men reduced to feeble, pitiable creatures in drag....

Assemblywomen, like Aristophanes’ more famous play, Lysistrata, is about the relationship between war, power, and gender, with women (literally) taking centre-stage. The women of Athens, led by Praxagora, decide to take over the city’s parliament, the Assembly, arguing for a number of radical reforms. Women should have all the power in Athens, all property should be held communally, and there should be complete sexual liberation, with people free to go to bed with whomever they choose. (The old and ugly are to get first dibs on sexual partners, so as to ensure that they’re not left out.) This, in summary, is the setup for Assemblywomen.
