It was first presented on stage to the public in 1913. Professor of phonetics Henry Higgins makes a bet that he can train a bedraggled Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, to pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party by teaching her to assume a veneer of gentility, the most important element of which, he believes, is impeccable speech. The play is a sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a commentary on women's independence. 541 $d 20180115. 650 $a Man-woman relationships $z London $z London $v Drama. 650 $a Speech and social status $z London $z London $v Drama. 650 1 $a Plays. 651 $a London (England) $x Social life and customs $v Drama. 941 $a 1 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20180310024705.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD4A5D30243D11E8BF72865797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
