By: Shaw, George Bernard

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Mrs Warren's Profession, is a play written by George Bernard Shaw in 1893. Shaw said he wrote the play "to call attention to the truth that prostitution is caused, not by female depravity and male debauchery, but simply by the lack of resources, self-esteem and livelihood that women receive so shamefully that the poorest of them are forced to resort to prostitution to keep the body and soul together. " The story focuses on the relationship between Mrs. Kitty Warren, the brothel owner, described by the author as "above all, a great and quite presentable local attended by a woman" and her daughter, Vivie. Mrs. Warren is a middle-aged woman whose daughter Vivie, who was educated at Cambridge, is horrified to discover that her mother's fortune was made by administering high-class brothels.The two women reconcile briefly when Mrs. Warren tells of her impoverished youth, which originally led her to practice prostitution. The reconciliation ends when Vivie learns that the highly profitable business is still operating. Vivie moves away from her mother's life, seemingly forever.
