The role of women in leading civil uprisings and revolts has been well documented. From Boudicca to the 17th and 18th century food riots, to the suffragette movement to Iran, Ukraine and #MeToo, women have been at the heart of community uprising and social change. Archipelago’s Women of Troy celebrates and extends the Euripides play to recognise the contemporary realties of fighting oppression and grass roots change, ultimately reflecting Marx’s observation the “great social revolutions are impossible without the feminine ferment".
