A Woman Rebels (1936)

For thousands of years women led virtually problem-free lives . . .

[8/10 · 4 December 2020]

. . . as the mistresses of their households, A WOMAN REBELS suggests. They had no legal standing to own property, earn money, select their own mates or to do anything else outside their homes other than raking leaves and singing in church choirs. Once dames deviated from this ordained-by-Destiny direction, all Heck broke loose. In this our Modern World, half-siblings are constantly meeting, marrying and reproducing unknowingly on Fate's version of a genetic roulette wheel due to the so-called "Liberated Lassies" freedom to traipse around not-at-all-chaperoned in the wee hours of the morning wherever their fancy takes them, A WOMAN REBELS reveals. Just as no one can cram Kentucky Jelly back into its tube, this film does not offer much hope for the Human Race.
