It's an angry play - against the censor, whom it had to get by - so it reads as though it were a particularly bloody revenge fantasy, and like it's awful to women. And it seems like it is, because they're so discounted/maligned/sort of victimized by the "protagonist" (who, by the way, is quite mad). But the women are also the only folks in the play with any agency, and iirc the play takes pains to point that out. Their choices aren't necessarily good ones, but they are choices. That's all I can remember without my notes! It's kind of a gleefully bloody play, and it was all aimed at making fun of the government, so everything had to slip under the nose of the censor, but I remember it as indeed sekkritly feminist.
