The congresswomen - Aristophanes (used)

Paperback. The New American Library. 1973. Ok condition(missing front cover)

Women's Lib and social revolution in ancient Athens form the twin hubs or Aristophanes' most bawdy and free-wheeling masterpiece. 

Set in a time of ruinous war and growing civil corruption, The congresswomen is a scathing satire on strident radicalism and euphoric utopianism, with the playwright employing his potent weapons of earthy slapstick corrosive personal attack and dazzling wordplay to defend the disintegrating ideals of his beloved city.
