In Shaw's days women were subordinate to men. They were regarded as property. Therefore, Eliza's father is a good example of this attitude "selling Eliza to Higgins as if she was his property” (page 67). This shows that inequality of the sexes is greater than inequality between classes. Eliza has been made a lady, regardless of her origin. During that time, the belief prevailed that only a man can turn a woman into a lady. This is illustrated in Eliza's helplessness and in the way Higgins treats her. The conflict reaches its climax when Higgins suggests that “Eliza should marry.” (page 65) As to Eliza's situation, she has to decide between marrying and going out to work. This reflects the contemporary beliefs that it was degrading for women to earn their own living. However, Eliza begins to rebel against Higgins by tossing the slippers at him. This can be seen as a way of release to the other ladies. In conclusion, one can say that Shaw's criticism and opinion is expressed in Eliza. Whereas females of the period were marked by some kind of helplessness, Eliza is an independent, self-confident character. She even uses language training to show superiority over Higgins.

In the era that Shaw lived, women were subordinate to men; they were property. Eliza's father is a good example: he sold "...Eliza as if she (were) his property" (p 67). This shows that inequality of the sexes is greater than inequality of the the classes. Despite her origins, Eliza became a lady. We see this through Eliza's helplessness and the way Higgins treats her





The conflict (which BTW you have not brought out) climaxes when Higgins suggests that "Eliza should marry" (p65). Eliza must now decide between marriage and work. This reflects contemporary beliefs that working women are somehow inferior. But, Eliza rebels by throwing Higgins slippers at him. This can be seen by other women as release and rebellion.





Is Eliza an expression of Shaw's belief system? Certainly. Whereas women of that period and in the upper class were marked by 'helplessness', Eliza is not in that category. She is confident and independent. This is evidendenced by her strong language skills that have surpassed Higgins'.
