Girl's Guide to Good Movies: 1938

This series is based on A Girl's Guide to Good Movies (https://www.listchallenges.com/girls-guide-to-good-movies). I picked 40 movies per year that portray women in an interesting light. Unfortunately, in some years women are just props without thought or motivation (the 1970's were especially unkind). And yet there's always the heyday of Hollywood when the biggest box office stars were female. Bette Davis, Irene Dunne, Dorothy Lamour, Claudette Colbert, Kay Francis, Shirley Temple, Loretta Young and the incomparable Norma Shearer... thank you for existing in all your complex glory.
