This paper examines women's oppression by class and their relationship in Caryl Churchill's Top Girls (1982). Churchill tries to reveal that women have been oppressed by class as well as gender in the patriarchal class society which affects the relationship among women. So, although women share their experiences of patriarchal oppression, they are divided into different classes and experience class confrontation. In order to show the situation of women in the patriarchal class society, Churchill presents the seemingly successful women who obtained the power and privileges of class not by fighting against the class society but by conforming to it, that is, by embodying male identification or female passivity. Especially Marlene who has achieved individual success by internalizing the capitalist ideology exhibits her power not only over the other women in the office but also over her working class sister. Also, she cuts off the relationship with her family, expecially with her daughter Angie who symbolizes her working class origin. Those women's success did not change their situation but rather reinforced the patriarchal class system which oppress women. Thus, Top Girls indicts not only the patriarchal class system but also the women with the desire to move beyond their own class, but with no concern for other women and their family.
