The Women (1939)
A happily married woman lets her catty friends talk her into divorce when her husband strays.
🏳️🌈 George Cukor's classic features an all-female cast, explicitly incorporating a prominent queer layer through the tomboyish/lesbian-coded writer character, Nancy Blake, alongside highly stylized female bonding dynamics.
