Bernard
Born in Dublin, Nobel-prize winning writer George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was one of the most prolific writers of his times. He was a playwright, literary critic, socialist theoretician, among other things. He was also a supporter of radical causes, such as vegetarianism, reform of the alphabet and abolition of private property, among others. His best known writings include "Major Barbara," "Saint Joan," and "Pygmalion." His class-sensitive play, "Pygmalion," became "My Fair Lady." Eliza Doolittle was one of the most famous heroines in stage history with lines such as, "The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she is treated."
