Using the theoretical framework by feminist theorist Nancy Fraser, this study delves into the complex relationship between patriarchy and capitalism in the groundbreaking play 'Top Girls' by Caryl Churchill. Famous for its scathing analysis of gender and social dynamics, Churchill's narrative provides a robust framework for analyzing how capitalist systems sustain patriarchal oppression. The study supports Fraser's claim that capitalism does more than exploit workers; it also maintains gender hierarchies by examining the characters' experiences within their socioeconomic circumstances. The article delves into how these systems interact with one another to affect women's autonomy, sense of self, and unity, illuminating the complex challenges faced by female protagonists in a capitalist society that is predominantly male. This research highlights the importance of a comprehensive critique that tackles economic and gender injustices, calling for a radical change to attain genuine social justice.
