Lysistrata

Aristophanes' anti-war comedy Lysistrata, written in 411 BC, has female characters, led by the eponymous Lysistrata, barricading the public funds building and withholding consensual sex from their husbands to secure peace and end the Peloponnesian War.

The play was adapted into a film in 1976 by Ludo Mich , in which all the actors and actresses were naked throughout.
