    This final project is an approach to Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls. The play inquires about woman’s success in a patriarchal and capitalist society. Written in the historical context of the arrival of Margaret Thatcher at the government, the play reflects on the confrontation of different feminisms in the 1980s. The other central topic is the sacrifices made by women not only in contemporary western societies but throughout diverse cultures and history. The main objective of the project is to demonstrate how Churchill proposes a revision of feminism with the integration of the diverse voices which lead to a better future. Through analysing the use of the overlapping dialogue, the doubling roles, the all women-cast and the episodic and circular structure, the hints to improve the future are drawn. All in all, Top Girls claims the necessity of equality not just between sexes, but among women as well.
