Context of your monologue/duologue - Top Girls Caryl Churchill
Social/political- Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister-celebrated personalachievement-link to Marlene- dominant political belief was capitalism
Cultural- the play contains a lot of feminism, mainly group feminism which was coming about during the 80's, for example Marlene the focused career woman-abandoned Angie.
Historical-1982, British feminism was in 2 parts intersexual- men opressing women and intrasexual women opressing each other
Marlene was a working class woman who became middle class and ignored everyone else even her own daughter to get what she wants - similar to Margaret Thatcher which is the idea that she idiolises - the play reflects how british feminists felt about this movement
