- Fallen Woman
- Mrs Warren is a prostitute, she is treated differently by the reverend wife and her daughter Vivie doesn't approve
- New Woman
- Vivie is educated at University of Cambridge- does not approve of her mothers profession. Romantically involved with Frank Gardener but not for money- comparison to dependence of victorian women
- Sexuality
- Mrs Warren uses her sexuality for her job
- In a way Frank uses his sexuality to hopefully one day be provided for by Vivie- subversion of usual morals
- Patriarchy
- George helps Mrs Warren run her business
- Frank subverts expectations by relying on Vivie for money
- Mr Praed thinks that he can impress Vivie however she does not want a man
- Rev. Gardener could be Vivies out of wed-lock father
- Morality
- Vivie does not approve of what her mother does- being a prostitute and running a prostitution business
- Frank hopes that one day he can rely on Vivie to support him rather than him support Vivie
- Vivie does not want to rely on a man- she wants her independence

- Rev. Gardener considered lower class than Sir George Croft
- Because Sir George Croft is rich- it isn't frowned upon that he helps run a prostitution business
