An amusing and short play published here as a Penguin 60s Classic, in which the women of Athens determine that the constant war, which interrups their time with their husbands and sons, must be stopped.
Their method of choice to encourage their menfolk to make peace is to withhold sex until they agree. There are some funny lines, some good excuses the women try to leave the Acropolis to return to their houses.

A quick easy read - 3 stars.
