    abstract = {The position and image of women in literary works have most 
  of the time reflected position and role in the society. In most traditions, 
  women do not play any important role because they are considered as lacking 
  the capability of reasoning and decision making. While most women have accepted 
  this traditional role, there are some who reject the dictates of the society 
  and emancipate themselves from the oppression of the society. This study looks 
  at the position of the woman according to the tenets of culture and further 
  establishes the fact that the woman’s 
  position is universal. This has been done through two comic plays; Aristophanes 
  Lysistrata and Rotimi’s Our Husband 
  Has Gone Mad Again. These two plays have been discussed to establish to what 
  extent the woman has accepted or rejected the traditional role dictated to her 
  by the society.}
