  Frustrated at the ongoing violence of the civil war, Lysistrata decides that the women of Athens must take matters into their own hands. Against heartfelt resistance, she eventually persuades the female population that the only way to make peace is to stop making love: they will deny their husbands sex until a treaty has been signed.
