By the end of the play, the men call upon Lysistrata to make the treaty between Sparta and Athens. This too contributes to her ability as a leader of Greece. Lysistrata also uses different language than the other women she is smarter, has more wit and has a more serious tone than the others. Because Lysistrata does not exhibit any sexual desire, has no obvious lovers or husbands, and does not purposely flirt with men, the Commissioner and the delegates seems to give her more respect. The separation Lysistrata achieves from the other women is important to her rank and power with the male characters in the play. While Lysistrata is the mastermind for both of these attacks, she does not take part in them. Lysistrata is also separate from the action of the play and the other women of the play because she does not participate in either the sex strike or the seizure of the Akropolis. From her perch, Lysistrata is the overseer of the action. Before Kinesias arrives at the Akropolis, Lysistrata gives Myrrhine specific directions on how to act with her husband and then watches to make sure that Myrrhine doesn't give in to Kinesias.

A good example of this 'coaching' is Lysistrata's interaction with Myrrhine when Kinesias comes to the Akropolis.

Continually giving direction from behind the scenes of the action, Lysistrata not only instructs the women on how to act, but carefully observes and coaches the women. Lysistrata is the ultimate MC (master of ceremonies) and director of the action of Lysistrata.
