The Character Lysistrata

I really like Lysistrata. Her character is so defiant, strong and powerful. I think that she's a wonderful woman for standing up for herself and her beliefs and having enough courage and leadership to get other women to join her against the war. The women lived in a time where women didn't have much of a voice and weren't seen on the same level as men, though that didnt discourage Lysistrata or the women. It may have even been a strong reason for why they decided to make the petition that they did.
