One of Churchill’s most popular works focuses on Marlene, the career girl who has sacrificed her house and family in order to achieve success in the business world. The first part of the play takes place during a dinner party at which she converses with a group of historic and fictive female characters who have achieved success in the patriarchic world, but not without making sacrifices. The second half revolves around Marlene’s family, where confrontation is inevitable.
