Top Girls’ opening scene is a dinner party in which historical women have been invited, they are also dead. Marlene, the main character, had just got a promotion and wanted to celebrate. Marlene appears to be well driven and wants to have a successful career. She had a baby at a young age, Angie, and left her daughter in the care of her sister so that she may try to go off and build a career. Angie seems to not be on the whole “feminist train” that the rest of the women are on. This was my first time reading this play, and I would have to say that I enjoyed it. Women have done a lot to further themselves in the workforce, and have come a long way. The women in this play eventually reveal a sort of weakness about themselves, and one that they can all relate to.
