This at first shocking claim can be caught on in terms of a few critical progressions between radical Thatcherism. This article centers in this regard on the legacies of the neoliberal administration move foundations beneath Mrs. Thatcher in Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls. In addition, women in her plays are not just depicted as victims in a patriarchal society but as fighters and survivors. Churchill wrote her plays when Margaret Thatcher was elected as Prime Minister of England as such her plays depict the dilemmas and conflicts of women living in the late seventies and eighties under the rule of the “Iron Lady”. In essence, her plays explore issues surrounding gender. In addition, she also examined the complexities surrounding the relationships among family members, gender stereotyping and class struggles.</abstract></article-meta></front><body /><back /></article>
