More about the book
Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Britain, the play explores themes of class and identity through the transformation of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, into a refined lady. Professor Henry Higgins wagers he can teach her to speak and behave like a duchess, highlighting the absurdities of social status and the importance of language. With its sharp critique of the British class system and focus on women's independence, this work remains a significant commentary on society. George Bernard Shaw's legacy includes over 60 plays, earning him both a Nobel Prize and an Academy Award.
