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, was the film debut of Van Heflin, and the final film of David Manners.
[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.
