Lampito

Lampito was an Ancient Greek woman from Sparta who, in 411 BC, played a leading role in Lysistrata's pan-Greek women's anti-war sex strike which resulted in a truce between Athens and Sparta, temporarily ending the Peloponnesian War. She helped arrange a conference of women from across Greece where it was agreed that women would withhold sex from their husbands until they agreed to end the war, and she went off to spread word of the revolt in Athens while Lysistrata and her followers seized the Acropolis of Athens.
