“THE DIVORCEE” (1930)

Directed by Clarence Brown

Norma Shearer is a role model for sophisticated [1930's] woman-hood… Challenging her husband’s double standard on adultery, she explores  sexual independence -and love– with an honesty that would be frank even today.  Shearer is is widely considered one of cinema’s feminist pioneers.
