Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Bernard Shaw’s early plays of social protest, Mrs Warren’s Profession places the protagonist’s decision to become a prostitute in the context of the appalling conditions for working class women in Victorian England. Faced with ill health, poverty, and marital servitude on the one hand, and opportunities for financial independence, dignity, and self-worth on the other, Kitty Warren follows her sister into a successful career in prostitution. Shaw’s fierce social criticism in this play is driven not by conventional morality, but by anger at the hypocrisy that allows society to condemn prostitution while condoning the discrimination against women that makes prostitution inevitable. This Broadview edition includes a comprehensive historical and critical introduction; extracts from Shaw’s prefaces to the play; Shaw’s expurgations of the text; early reviews of the play in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain; and contemporary contextual documents on prostitution, incest, censorship, women’s education, and the “New Woman.”

The play revolves around the relationship between Mrs. Kitty Warren, a shrewd and successful madam, and her daughter Vivie, a young woman determined to make her own way in the world. As Vivie uncovers the truth about her mother's profession, she is forced to confront her own values and beliefs, leading to a clash of ideals between mother and daughter. Shaw's incisive wit and social commentary shine through in this thought-provoking drama, challenging audiences to reconsider their preconceptions about morality and the choices individuals make in pursuit of success and independence. "Mrs. Warren's Profession" remains a compelling and relevant work that continues to spark conversation and debate.
