The concept of the New Woman in Bernhard Shaw's "Mrs Warren's Profession"
About this book
Essay from the year 2017 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2, 4, University of Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: The paper is about the concept of the New Woman in Bernhard Shaw's "Mrs Warren's Profession". The central conflict of "Mrs Warren's Profession" is seemingly one of opposition. The two women in the play are mother and daughter and they live their lives very differently. Mrs Warren, the mother, is a prostitute and the owner of at least one brothel and her daughter Vivie appears to be the perfect image of the new woman, an ideal of womanhood which became popular at the end of the 19th century. The intention of this essay is to prove that both Vivie Warren and her mother are new women in their own right and that even this new womanhood will not free them entirely of the oppression of man.
