Lysistrata proclaims, “Make love, not war!” She is a woman on a mission, rallying her Greek sisters to put an end to a senseless war by denying their husbands their most basic desires. Aristophanes’ comedy of an anti-war sex strike is brimming with innuendo and bawdy fun, taking a hard look at the folly of war and politics, the struggle for equality, and the eternal battle of the sexes.
