Lysistrata, Bernarda, Hedda Gabler

Looking at these three women, they all share a common themes, power & control. Lysistrata uses her power to get the men to stop the war, and controls them by being abstinent from sex. Bernarda uses her power to control her daughters' lives, and Hedda Gabler uses her power to control George and to also attain what she wants. Overall, these three women use their power in order to control others, and to get what they want.

I agree with you, although their power may be different, it still is very relevant to the theme of not understimating the power of women and how much and how far they can get with it.
