Abstract: This research is a critical analysis of shaw’s Mrs. Warrens Profession and Ashours Abroad which focuses on the concept of the new women in the face of social hypocrisy and capitalist corruption in light of the  economic need and lack of employment opportunities among the lower class .

Shaw’s deals with the problem of prostitution artistically through the theme of consciences which creates a conflict between a coarse mother Mrs. Warren and cold daughter Miss vive warren and presents the conflict between individualism and social forces .

When we compare Ashour and Shaw on the subject and the idea we find that the theme of the plays in somewhat is different because the difference between prostitutions and leaving the motherland is big, but the purpose are mutually agreed the both playwrights presents and carry many ideas including social hypocrisy, poor economic conditions for some poor classes, The lack of employments opportunities available for the people in their societies especially woman. They also expose the corruption of capitalists and their misuses of the poor. The purpose is also almost agreed the main objective is to purge society of the movement towards a better socialist society.
