Mrs. Warren's Profession

Set against the backdrop of societal norms and economic struggles, the play explores the complex relationship between a former prostitute, now a madam, and her disapproving daughter. George Bernard Shaw delves into themes of morality and economic necessity, challenging the stigma surrounding prostitution. Drawing inspiration from his earlier work, the narrative serves as a thought-provoking commentary on the socio-economic factors that drive individuals into such circumstances, making it a significant piece in Shaw's oeuvre.
