About This Book

The women of Athens gather to sneak into the congress and vote the men out of office. The Congresswomen is bawdy, slapstick, and wildly funny - but it is also pointed. Aristophanes pokes fun at his own Utopian vision, but he is really concerned with the enjoyment of life. He adds to this enjoyment not only by lampooning all of society but also by reminding of the delights of love, food, and peace. - from inside cover.
