    Recently I had the opportunity to attend to a Greek comedy called the lysistrata at Whatcom Community College. The show really connected to similar themes in our curicculum of IDS 161. In the opening scene of Lysistrata‚ it enacts the stereotypical and traditional characterization of women in Greece and also distances Lysistrata from this clichéd‚ housewife character. Lysistrata is not only angered because the women won’t prioritize war and the peace of their country‚ but she is ashamed that the
