Lysistrata

     Lysistrata is an incredibly self-empowered woman. She is very strong willed and manages to will the women of her society into organizing a reform movement against the male domination, she views as tearing Greece apart. She uses her powers of persuasion and her analytical view of society in order to formulate a plan to advance gender equality and end the male dominated war that is tearing Greece apart.

     Lysistrata devised her plan over many nights and took great detail in planning it, but the other women still shuddered at the thought of going   through with the steps she had devised. It was only by Lysistrata's passion and persuasion that they fully bought into the idea and followed her every command. Through her com position, she became the most powerful person in Greece. She gained control of the military and the fate of the war and peace of Greece, as a coalition of states as well as having the power to manage the entire male population. Were Lysistrata weak minded or of any less merit than the incredible amount she possesses, her entire plan would have fallen short of accomplishing her goal before it had even really begun. Her women troops would have divided and would have immediately returned to their dismal subservient status, if not an even more subservient one.
