#WomanEmpowermentWednesday Ruth Hussey as Norma Haven in "Married Bachelor" (1941)


Norma Haven has been a secretary to her con-man husband of 7 years (Robert Young) and is getting really fed up with the situation. Fed up with living paycheck to paycheck and fed up with Randolph's inability to find steady work outside of illegal activity. Norma ends up going out and getting a job at a department store without any help from anyone. She kicks Randolph out of the apartment after finding out he owes money and stooping so low to sell a manuscript about the psychology of marriage that he didn't even write in order to cover up the bet. He even has to pretend to be a bachelor in order to pose as the real author. During a reading of The Psychology of Marriage at the department store, Norma accidentally attracts the attention of a publisher. Randolph's sucker of a publisher.
