Worum es in diesem Buch geht
Mrs. Warren's Profession is a play by Bernard Shaw about a young woman who discovers that her mother's comfortable life rests on the business of prostitution. It remains unsettling because Shaw makes the dispute about more than sexual morality: it concerns poverty, profit, respectable society, and whether understanding a parent means accepting her choices.

Punkt 1 von 5
Vivie Warren has finished her studies at Cambridge and wants a practical, independent life. She values work, clear thinking, and the chance to earn her own living. Her mother, Mrs. Warren, has paid for her education but has kept the source of that money out of sight. When they meet in the English countryside, the distance between them is more than a matter of different tastes.
