A Woman Rebels is a 1936 RKO film adapted from the novel Portrait of a Rebel by Netta Syrett and starring Katharine Hepburn as Pamela Thistlewaite, who rebels against the social mores of Victorian England. The film was directed by Mark Sandrich.
[edit] Synopsis
Pamela defies her autocratic father (Donald Crisp), and has a baby out of wedlock with her lover, Gerald Waring (Van Heflin, in his screen debut). Pamela raises her illegitimate daughter as her niece and becomes a crusading journalist. Eventually she married Thomas Lane (Herbert Marshall), a young diplomat. Hepburn's performance as the defiant young woman is considered the epitome of her feminist characterizations of the 1930s.
