British playwright Caryl Churchill in her Top Girls (1982) depicts the life of a woman Marlene, who succeeds in career but fails in family. Situating the play against the backdrop of the 1980s in England, Churchill foregrounds a new form of oppression of women in capitalist society and reveals her suspicion of liberal feminism. Comprised of three acts, Top Girls begins with a dinner party hosted by Marlene with five imaginary women to celebrate her promotion. Whereas Act Two presents the work life of Marlene and her colleagues in their Employment Agency, Act Three takes the audience back to a year earlier when Marlene visits her sister Joyce and her deserted daughter Angie at Joyce’s place. |
