Battle Of The Sexes
There is a dominant theme of the battle of the sexes throughout Lysistrata. The whole play, the women are fighting not only to secure peace, but also to secure some more power for themselves. I don't think that they necessarily want to wield power, I think that they just want the men to know that they could wield power if they wanted, and I think that they accomplished it quite effectively.

I think that the women did want power, and to take control of the conditions of the war. They wanted to be able to have some kind of say in what was going on. By abstaining, they would be able to gain this power that they desire, and get what they want.
