Lysistrata and Rosa Parks
I think that Lysistrata and Rosa Parks are actually a lot alike. Lysistrata stepped out of what was expected of women, and decided to take a stand against what she felt was wrong and in that way she helped created change. At first the men and even women were totally opposed to the idea but they all eventually agreed with Lysistrata and her petition came out strong. Rosa Parks did something that was quite unexpected as well by sitting in the white section of the bus. She took a stand against something she felt was unfair and didnt give into what others wanted her to do/others anger. This small action, though it was small eventually caused change and caused others to agree with her and come to the conclusion that she was right.

Never would have thought that one could compare two different women like Rosa and Lysistrata, but I do see your point and I agree to a very large extent, its very good to know that these kinda women dont only exist in plays.
