Her guests are five women from the past : a transvestite Pope, a courtesan-cum-nun, a tireless adventurer, an obedient wife from Chaucer and the leader of a charge into hell from a Bruegel painting. The feminist themes introduced by this cacophonous scene echo throughout the more contemporary action of the play, as Churchill uses the setting of the `Top Girls' agency to allow a glimpse into the lives of several very different working women. 532 8 Compatible with accessibility standards for most Level A (Priority 1) and AA (Priority 2) success criteria of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) developed by the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C). 588 Description based on print version record. 590 Bloomsbury Drama Online - Core Collection 650 0 Women|xEmployment|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85147294|vDrama.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001612 650 7 Women|xEmployment.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1176715 650 7 Women.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001509 650 7 Womyn.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001516 655 7 Drama.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423879 655 7 Drama.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/ gf2014026297 700 1 Naismith, William.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n87905698 700 1 Worrall, Nick.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n83011970 776 08 |iPrint version :|z9781408106037 830 0 Methuen drama student editions.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2007127869 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/ 10.5040/9781408167595.00000034?locatt=label: secondary_dramaOnline|zOnline eBook via Drama Online.
