Dear Reader, Season 2 Episode 02: Jungle Red

May 26, 2023

In the second episode of this season, I look at the first adaptation of The Women, hitting the silver screen in 1939. After giving details about the production, I also provide some reviews of the film at the time.

In the second part of the episode, I am joined by Professor Carolyn Cocca as we discuss various aspects of the film and ask the big question of whether it is feminist or misogynist. As always, I conclude the discussion with revealing whether the film follows the law or the spirit of The Women.
