Ok, I definitely loved Churchill's idea to have different women from different centuries and having a diner together as one of the scenes. I thought it was a very cool concept. I liked the play, and i think it is sort of relative to today. But I do think that she exaggerated to say that women that achieved success pay a cost of not having a family, only broken relationships. I do not think it is entirely true. I believe it is possible to try to manage your personal life and career. Now, I do agree with the author in the fact that most of the successful woman do not have children. I think children deserve and ultimately receive a lot of sacrifice and limitless dedication. As a career oriented person ( at least right now), I do not plan to have children myself. Especially in this artistic industry, become I an actress, a playwright, a director, or all the above. However I do want to continue to have a deep loving relationship in my life. I do think to love and to be loved in return is an essential core part of a happy life. Over all this play touches the most feminist issues that are still actual today. Like advising a young woman who is looking for a job, not to tell the potential interviewer that she is engaged ( because it is assumed that women have children right after getting married). There are many more aspects of an unfair battles of competing for the positions that men intend to have. I cant wait to talk about it in class.
