Abstract

The aim of this study is to shed light on career woman’s struggle to combine two incompatible roles: maternal role and career role; Moreover, it examines the workings of power in family in particular, and society in general as manifest in Caryl Churchill’s Cloud Nine, Top Girls, and Fen. It explores how these plays reflect political, cultural and social changes in Britain in the 80s. These plays also represent the feminist theater in that period and draw attention to familial relationships, especially mother/daughter relationship. However, Churchill’s unrestricted feminism brings on a different treatment of the construction of motherhood, which does not ultimately depend upon the libratory stance that looks down upon this role, but tries to configure a perspective that supports autonomy of both mother and children.
