Names ( Lysistrata, Bernarda, Hedda Gabler)
Looking at these three names, they all share the same connotations of powerful, controlling, leader, maybe manipulator, or some time of head figure. Looking at the name Lysistrata, I found that she is a leader and she uses her power to control others, and I also found " lyrisist" out of her name, which could imply that she uses her words to control and manipulate others. Bernarda, as well all know, is a manly and manipulative figure, because her name is part man, and she also uses her power to control others. Likewise, Hedda Gabler uses her power in order to control George, and from her name I got " Head Of", which implies that she is powerful and a leader.

I was also loooking into names a bit, and found that Lysistrata roughly translates to something like "she who destroys armies" or something along those lines.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what her name means. I'd say it accurately describe what kind of character she is, a fearless leader.
