Bag om Mrs. Warren's Profession

Mrs. Warren's Profession is a play written by George Bernard Shaw in 1905. The play is a scathing critique of the Victorian era's social and economic structures, particularly the limited opportunities available for women. It tells the story of a young woman named Vivie Warren, who discovers that her mother, Mrs. Warren, made her fortune by running a chain of brothels across Europe. As Vivie grapples with the revelation, she also faces challenges in her own career aspirations and relationships with men.
