She rebels against both the Lacanian linguistic structure where "the phallus is a signifier…intended to designate as a whole the effects of the signified" (Lacan 40) and the sexual role confining women as a passive object.
Through feminine writing, woman "derives pleasure from this gift of alterability" (890); her very inability to perform through rigid language gives her cause to rejoice, for it is through the myriad she that woman expresses herself as the "dispersible, prodigious, stunning, desirous and capable of others, of the other woman that she will be" (890).
Unorganized through male dominated forms, the woman as medusa is woman as giver, no longer a commodity in a masculine economy but creative of "life, thought, [and] transformation" (893) who "rejoices" (892) precisely in her dimensionless freedom from "phallocentric values" (893).

It is the woman who suffers first from hunger, the woman whose clothing is least adequate, the woman who must work all hours, even though she is not compelled, as in the case of millions, to go into a factory to add to her husband's scanty income.
Where a woman with a large family is contributing directly to the progress of her times or the betterment of social conditions, it is usually because she has sufficient wealth to employ trained nurses, governesses, and others who perform the duties necessary to child rearing.
In brief, a woman should avoid having children unless both she and the father are in such physical and mental condition as to assure the child a healthy physical and mental being.

 A Woman Rebels - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
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).
Hepburn's performance as the defiant young woman is considered the epitome of her feminist characterizations of the 1930s.

 (Family Focus)
The subjection of a woman to her husband is that garment, that "adorning," is that "ornament of a meek and quiet spirit which is in the sight of God of great price." It is that which is beautiful.
When a woman is subjecting herself to her husband, what she is doing is placing herself under the authority of the Lord, not under the authority of the husband.
The seed of the woman, "...shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel." That is where the Lord Jesus Christ was first proclaimed; He was the seed of the woman of whom the Lord spoke, and that is where the curse was pronounced upon the serpent.

The last surviving member of an extraordinary generation of Hollywood actresses who came into prominence in the early 1930s, Hepburn was always in a category of her own, both as a woman and as an actress.
As a young woman, she could hardly be described as beautiful, unless one redefines beauty -- though in a sense that's what Hepburn did.
The financial cushion her family provided was essential in Hepburn's early career, and she herself speculated at times how she ever would have managed had she had to wait tables as a young actress.
