		It depicts the life of Marlene, a hard-bitten career woman who runs the 'Top Girls' employment agency, and her interactions with her depressed, unemployed sister, Joyce.
		In Act I, scene 1, Marlene is depicted as a successful businesswoman, and all her guests from different ages celebrate her promotion in the 'Top Girls' ad agency.

	Amazon.co.uk: Top Girls (Methuen Student Editions) (Student Editions): Caryl Churchill: Books
		Top Girls is one of a number of plays written by the brilliant Caryl Churhill.
		Top Girls is a play not neccessarily concerned with providing answers but asking questions, mainly about the rather archaic and unfair patriarchal society in which all of the women in this play are living in, or indeed, have lived in.
		Top Girls is a play which delivers the fundamental elements which theatre is based upon, and goes a lot further and deeper than this.

	Top Girls,, a CurtainUp Berkshire Review
		Top Girls Cast (l-right) Becky Ann Baker as Isabella Bird, Laura Heisler as Breughel's Dull Gret, Jessica Hecht as Marlene, Ellen McLaughlin as Pope Joan & Reiko Aylesworth as Lady Nijo.
		Where Top Girls falls short of living up to its "great play" reputation is as a groundbreaker in terms of its thematic muscle.
		Churchill uses as a metaphorical presence hovering over her "top girls." may be gone but the widening gap between the haves and have-nots attributed to her administration is more relevant than ever.

	Top Girls - Review - Theater - New York Times
		Churchill’s fantasy dinner in a London restaurant, where Marlene is celebrating her promotion to managing director of an employment agency, makes the first act of “Top Girls” not only an inspired gimmick but also one of the most resonant theatrical set pieces of the past 50 years.
		That nothing else in “Top Girls” equals its virtuosic opening scene is no fault of this revival, a Manhattan Theater Club production.
		In these, set in the dawn of Margaret Thatcher’s Britain, Marlene is seen in both the unforgiving world of affluence in which she now lives and the equally unforgiving one of poverty she escaped from.

		That may be because some of its insights, fresh in 1982, have become commonplace: No one can have it all; the business world drains the soul; women have more shared pain than they realize.
		Of course, the difficulty of the language may be another reason directors steer clear of the play in favor of other feminist work or of Churchill's own later, more tightly structured plays.
		And if Marlene, with her Thatcherism and her big shoulders, is starting to feel a bit like a historical figure herself, she still has plenty to tell her sisters about the way we live now.

	BoAjjang - Bringing You The Best of BoA* » Girls On Top & Autumn Letter KOR
		Girls on Top is a good song, and has a catchy and powerful beat.
		To top it all off, the closing scenes are absolutely breath-taking; hearing BoA's serene, a cappela singing while watching delicate flower petals (or what I assume to be flower petals) fall to the ground sincerely helps one to repose.
		There is no doubt that the message of the song is for girls to stand up (not necessarily against men -_-) and be proud of who they are, which is shown through the strong beats and bright vocals.

		In the following essay, Marohl demonstrates how Top Girls succeeds in debunking the myth of the feminist hero whose achievements are gained through her imitation of powerful men rather than through the avenues of a "socially conscious feminism.

	Review of Top Girls - Variety.com
		It's a mark of the spiky brilliance of "Top Girls" that regardless of having previously seen or read the 1982 play, deciphering its cryptographic mosaic of narrative, themes, structure and style is still a bracing challenge.
		And while that bleak pronouncement might seem sweepingly dramatic, "Top Girls" does make a trenchant case that courage and compromise have always been necessary for women wanting to measure up against men, and that making progress usually requires adoption of dog-eat-dog male values.
		The hasty judgments, dismissive categorizations and patronizing indifference of the interview scenes in which the top girls scrutinize prospective clients are especially revealing.

		A question which runs through this play concerns the responsibilities of "top girls" (women who have made it to the top of their group) towards other women.
		Should "top girls" help those women not yet at the top also to gain power, influence, responsibility, education, etc.?
		Should "top girls" associate themselves more with "male" virtues and "male" power structures, since they got to the top under the old male rules, or should they try to remake the world they now dominate into a kinder, gentler, more feminine world?
