Why Lysistrata?
What makes Lysistrata different from the other women in Greece and why is she the one who organizes the revolts? It's clear to me in the beginning of the play that Lysistrata is sick and tired of war and the treatment of women in Athens. Lysistrata is the least feminine woman in the play and her masculinity helps her gain respect among the men. Lysistrata seems to be the only woman who is not controlled by sex like the other women. Basically Lysistrata is the woman who organizes everything because she stays focus on what she needs to do.

yea... lysistrata is the only one who does not give in to the likes of sex like everyone else in the play. she's the only one who knows the true value of what the womeb have to offer, and that is more than just sex. She has her head on better than any other female in the play.
