Mrs. Warren's Profession is a play written by George Bernard Shaw in 1893, and first performed in London in 1902. The play is about a former prostitute, now a madam (brothel proprietor), who attempts to come to terms with her disapproving daughter. It is a problem play, offering social commentary to illustrate Shaw's belief that the act of prostitution was not caused by moral failure but by economic necessity. Elements of the play were borrowed from Shaw's 1882 novel Cashel Byron's Profession, about a man who becomes a boxer due to limited employment opportunities. (wikipedia.org)

Middle-aged Mrs. Warren is a madam, proprietress of a string of successful brothels. Her daughter, Vivie, is a modern young woman, but not so modern that she's not shocked to discover the source of her mother's wealth. The clash of these two strong-willed, but culturally constrained Victorian women, is the spark that ignites the ironic wit of one of George Bernard Shaw's greatest plays, in a withering critique of male domination, sexual hypocrisy, and societal convention.

The story centers on the relationship between Mrs. Kitty Warren, a rich woman, described by the author as "in general, an old and brilliant presenter of a black woman" and her daughter, Vivie. Mrs. Warren is a middle-aged woman whose daughter educated in Cambridge, Vivie, is horrified to discover the sinister way in which her mother acquired her fortune. The two strong women make a brief reconciliation when Mrs. Warren explains her impoverished youth, which originally led her to prostitution. Vivie forgives her mother until she learns that the highly profitable business is still running.

Read the controversial play that caused an international sensation when it was first performed. George Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession takes a frank and matter-of-fact look at the world's oldest profession and makes an explicit link between the second-class citizenship that has been foisted upon women for thousands of years and the persistence of prostitution as an occupation.
