Pygmalion
Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright in the early 20th century known for writing about the exploitation of the working class and being a charter member of the Fabian Society. Later in life, Shaw left part of his wealth to fund the creation of a new phonetic alphabet for the English language due to his concerns about inconsistencies in English spelling. The document appears to discuss Shaw's play Pygmalion, in which Professor Henry Higgins makes a bet that he can pass off a Cockney flower girl as a lady by teaching her refined speech and manners.
