<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Classic comedy concerns the vow of Greek women to withhold sex from their husbands until the men agree to end the wars between Athens and Sparta. Exuberant battle of the sexes with underlying anti-war theme.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>First presented in 411 B.C., this ancient comedy concerns the efforts of Lysistrata, an Athenian woman, to persuade other women to join together in a strike against the men of Greece, denying them sex until they've agreed to put down their arms and end the disastrous wars between Athens and Sparta. <br> When the strike begins, and the men respond, the comedic battle of the sexes that ensues makes this spirited play one of the most enjoyable of the classics. In it, Aristophanes employs a mixture of shrewd logic and raffish humor that fully exploits the rich comic potential of the story and its underlying antiwar sentiment. Always a favorite of audiences, <i>Lysistrata</i>, because of its pointed feminist sympathies, is studied and performed today more than ever.</p>
