Mrs. Warren's Profession

Más información sobre el libro

The narrative centers on a former prostitute turned madam as she navigates her complex relationship with her disapproving daughter. Through this dynamic, the play serves as a critique of societal norms, arguing that prostitution arises not from moral failings but from economic circumstances. Shaw's exploration of these themes reflects his broader social commentary, drawing parallels to his earlier work about limited job opportunities. The play, first performed in 1902, challenges audiences to reconsider their perceptions of morality and economic necessity.
