More about the book

The play features a unique feminist twist on the classic Pygmalion myth, where Eliza Doolittle, a flower girl transformed by Professor Higgins, asserts her independence despite his attempts to mold her. Shaw's creation of Eliza was inspired by his complicated relationship with Mrs. Patrick Campbell, leading to a work that became a sensational success. While Higgins seeks to elevate Eliza socially, she ultimately rejects being his mere creation, highlighting themes of self-identity and empowerment.
