What happens

A Woman Rebels is a 1936 American historical drama film adapted from the 1930 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; it was the film debut of Van Heflin, and the second last film of David Manners. Hepburn's performance as the defiant young woman is considered by many critics the epitome of her feminist characterizations of the 1930s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
