Bernard Shaw’s controversial attack on society’s hypocrisy. Young Vivie Warren, emancipated, intelligent and self-sufficient is astounded to learn her mother rose from poverty to riches through prostitution—and also that she is now part owner and operator of a chain of brothels. Mrs. Warren ably justifies her past—attacking a hypocritical society that rewards vice and oppresses virtue. She states poverty and the society that fosters poverty are the real villains and that life in a brothel is preferable to life in a 19th century factory.
