这部作品深受读者喜爱，后被改拍为电影，萧伯纳也因此成为了唯一一个既获得诺贝尔文学奖又获得奥斯卡奖的剧作家。

萧伯纳的作品多反映女权主义，他所塑造的强大的女性形象撞击了人们对男女关系的固有观念, 唤醒了女性，自立、自强、自尊的意识, 推动了西方女权主义的发展。

《皮格马利翁》中的女主人公伊莉莎就是其中杰出的代表之一。

《皮格马利翁》讲述的是一个满口伦敦土语的卖花女如何在一位语言学教授的教导和培训下变成一个上流社会的贵妇。

这个故事一方面讽刺了当时的上流社会-----一个以纯正的英音为骄傲，因人的口音而判断他人地位的社会，曾被人们所轻视的卖花女经过6个月的训练被人们当做是皇室的公主，这反映当时上流社会中人们的盲目自大与无知；另一方面，这个故事也强调了女性独立意识的重要性，伊莉莎正是因为自己的自尊自强才从一个伦敦街头的卖花女变为了一个上流社会的贵妇。

本论文通过分析伊莉莎因自立自强而获得幸福生活的过程来探讨女性的独立意识是如何改变自身命运的。

它包括三个部分：第一章从当时的社会压力及伊莉莎自身家庭的条件两方面来分析伊莉莎具有独立意识的原因；第二章对伊莉莎独立意识的具体行为表现进行了描述；第三章阐述了伊莉莎通过自立自强而创造的幸福生活。

In his life, he created lots of well-known plays and works. Pygmalion is one of Shaw's best-known plays. It is a play based on Ovid’s tale of Pygmalion. It tells the story of Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, who makes a bet with his friend Colonel Pickering that he can turn a Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a refined society lady merely by teaching her how to speak with an upper class accent and training her in etiquette. The play is a sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a comment on women’s independence, packaged as a romantic comedy. This play gets an enormous success all over the world. This essay will discuss the process of Eliza's changing of image and arising of spirit from the Greek myth archetype. Meanwhile, it will also display the author's effort to explore female self -creation.In Ovid’s narrative, Pygmalion was a Cypriot sculptor w ho carved a woman out of ivory. According to Ovid, after seeing the Propoetides prostituting themselves (more accurately, they denied the divinity of Aphrodite and she thus 'reduced' them to prostitution), he was not interested in women, but his statue was so fair and realistic that he fell in love with it. In the vertex, Aphrodite's festival day came. For the festival, Pygmalion made offerings to Aphrodite and made a wish. "I sincerely wished the ivory sculpture will be changed to a real woman." However, he couldn't bring himself to express it. When he returned home, Cupid sent by Aphrodite kissed the ivory sculpture on the hand. At that time, it was changed to a beautiful woman. A ring was put on her finger. It was Cupid's ring which made love achieved. Aphrodite granted his wish. Pygmalion married the ivory sculpture changed to a woman under Aphrodite's blessing. In Shaw's play, 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 comment on women's independence, packaged as a romantic comedy.In the late of 19 century and early of 20 century, Englishmen are very proud of the orthodox English and regard it as the representation of elegance. People even determine somebody’s social identity based on his or her English accent. However, a girl who sales flowers on the street ofLondon becomes very good at this language with 6 months’ learning. So the self independence is more important than the class awareness. In traditional social concept, only when a girl getting into marriage and having a baby that she becomes a significant and full woman. At the same time, because of women’s low economic status in family, few of them have the power to make decision. So that in the traditional structure of marriage, women are just as a accessory of a family.As the writer of Pygmalion, Shaw was a famous exponent of Feminism in western world. He sympathized that women were oppressed in that society and encouraged them to walk into the society and strive for independence. Therefore, most of the women protagonists that Bernard Shaw created were strong, brave, smart and independent. Only through hard endeavor and unremitting struggle could they get the right way of living and finally realize the genuine independence both in economy and society, just as Eliza. Eliza courageously strode out of gutter she used to stay in and headed towards her goal of independence. And afterwards, she became the guardian of Higgins as well as his house -only she expressly knew where Higgins’ things had gone or what kind of appointments he had to go. Eliza had become such an indispensable part of Higgins’ life that Higgins would cast about for Eliza all around since she had left. Higgins had grown accustomed to her and relied on her much. Higgins could not live without her, whereas Eliza was independent and could live without anybody. In the end Eliza got thorough independence, realized her self-value and the true value of the transformation from a flower girl to a proper lady.First-wave feminism was a period of activity during the nineteenth century and early twentieth century. In the UK and US, it focused on the promotion of equal contract, marriage, parenting, and property rights for women. By the end of the nineteenth century, activism focused primarily on gaining political power, particularly the right of women’s suffrage, though some feminists were active in campaigning for women’s sexual, reproductive, and economic rights as well. Louise Weiss along with other Parisian suffragettes in 1935. The newspaper headline reads "The Frenchwoman Must V ote." Women’s suffrage was achieved in Britain's Australasian colonies at the close of the 19th century, with the self-governing colonies of New Zealand and South Australia granting women the right to vote in 1893 and 1895 respectively. It was followed by Australia permitting women to stand for parliamentary office and granting women the right to vote. In Britain the Suffrag ettes and the Suffragists campaigned for the women’s vote, and in1918 the Representation of the People Act was passed granting the vote to women over the age of 30 who owned houses. In 1928 this was extended to all women over twenty-one. In the U.S., notable leaders of this movement included Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B.This thesis will analyze how Eliza acquires her happy life with her awareness of independence. It consists of three parts. Chapter One analyzes the reasons of Eliza’s independence, in which the pressure from the society and her family serves as the main factor. Chapter Two describes the manifestations of Eliza’s independence. Chapter Three studies the results of Eliza’s independence, which include earning the love of Professor Higgins and the ability to live happily in her own way.XXXX本科生毕业论文册题目：论萧伯纳《皮格马利翁》中伊莉莎的女性独立作者姓名 XX指导教师 XXX所在学院外国语学院专业（系）机器翻译班级（届） 2009级完成日期 2013 年 4 月 20 日Analysis of Eliza’s Independence in George Bernard Shaw’sPygmalionBYXXXXXXX, TutorA Thesis Submitted to Department of EnglishLanguage and Literature in PartialFulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of B.A. in EnglishAt XXXXUniversityApril 20th, 2013AbstractGeorge Bernard Shaw was the greatest playwright of England in 20th Century. And Pygmalion is the most famous drama of him. This work is deeply loved by the readers, and it was adapted into a movie later. Bernard Shaw becomes the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize in Literature and an Oscar because of this. George Bernard Shaw made a lot of images of women, and the strong images he made shaped the traditional concept of the relationship between men and women, and the images rouse women as well. The awareness of independence, self-esteem and self-improvement push forward the development of western feminism. Eliza, the heroine of Pygmalion is one of the outstanding representatives.The story of Pygmalion tells that how a flower girl does from the streets of London becomes a high class lady within six months’ study in phonetics. The story satirizes the high society of that time. In that society, People determine other’s social identity based on his or her English accent. Yet, a flower girl, who was looked down upon by the high class, is regarded as a royal princess after 6 months’training of phonetics. That reflects the blind arrogance and ignorance of the high class. On the other hand, the story also stresses the importance of women’s awareness of independence. The reason why Eliza transfers from a flower girl into a high class lady is her awareness of independence and self-improvement.This thesis will analyze how Eliza acquires her happy life with her awareness of independence. It consists of three parts. Chapter one analyzes the reasons of Eliza’s independence, in which the pressure from the society and her family serves as the main factor. Chapter two describes the manifestations of Eliza’s independence. Chapter three studies the results of Eliza’s independence, which include earning the love of Professor Higgins and the ability to live happily in her own way.Key words women awareness of independence happiness摘要萧伯纳是二十世纪英国最伟大的戏剧家，《皮格马利翁》是他最著名的剧作之一。
