Top Girls (1982), a play written by Caryl Churchill, carefully investigates the relationship between career and personal relations through its portrayal of the sacrifices and challenges productive women encounter at the London recruitment agency. Characters have to advance their professions by putting their personal life on hold in order to concentrate on their job. The play makes the case that characters possibly pay a high price for their accomplishment and that it is unfair for women to be obliged to choose between having a satisfying personal life and a successful job.The present paper aims to examine the play through the theoretical perspectives of postfeminism concentrating on the dilemma of choosing between career success and family relations. As a result, the study discovers that the conflict between public and private life depicted through Joyce and Marlene respectively is controversial and both of them suffer in certain circumstances. Consequently, it suggests the harmony and coincidence between occupation and family life by women because neither of them could lead to their happiness separately.
