#WomanEmpowermentWednesday Ginger Rogers as "Kitty Foyle" (1940)

Kitty Foyle is a successful saleswoman in a department store in New York City. A strong and independent woman, but her main downfall comes in two words. Wyn Stafford. (Dennis Morgan) Her ex-employer and ex-husband and father to a stillborn son. He doesn't want to lose his rich Philadelphia privilege, although a family who hates her, but Stafford doesn't want to give Kitty up even after they divorce and even after he marries someone else. Somewhere in the middle of all of that toxicity, she meets Dr. Mark Elsen (James Craig) during an accidental happenstance involving wrongly pushing the burglar alarm and feigning a fainting spell. But now the man she's been in love with for years now asks her to run away to South America with him. Elsen also has asked her to marry him, forcing Kitty to make a choice.
