If anyone with a better grasp of the play can rework this in: Shaw, a socialist, also uses the play to talk about community relations, especially those regarding working-class girls. Indeed the play is hence about the working-class woman being forced into prostitution due to slavery-like conditions in more, "respectable," occupations such as factory-girl or scullery maid. The fact that prostitution is the only way Mrs Warren is able to prosper in a male-dominated social and economic market speaks volumes about the condition of female workers at the time and a need for reform.

Hey everyone,
Although whoever wrote this did seem to delve quite deeply into the meaning of the play, I believe that the page should be reworked to consider the "surface" issues such as Sir George Crofts' relations with Kitty and Vivie, as well as Frank's ongoing wooing of Vivie.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to mention how Crofts, as well as Frank's father Sam have the potential of being Vivie's father.
Thanks,
