Abstract

Women's struggles for recognition have provided new perspectives on Aristophanes' Lysistrata held to be the primeval perspective on Antiquity. By contrast with the importance of tragic heroines, comedies have inspired fewer works. We propose to highlight here the specificities of the relationship of women and power in Aristophanic comedy as seen by Hispanic Caribbean authors.
