The Woman Who Did

“The Woman Who Did” (1895) is a novel by Grant Allen about a young, self-assured middle-class woman who defies convention as a matter of principle and who is fully prepared to suffer the consequences of her actions. It was first published in London by John Lane in a series intended to promote the ideal of the "New Woman". It was adapted into a British silent film in 1915, “The Woman Who Did”, which was directed by Walter West, and later into a 1925 German film, “Die Frau mit dem schlechten Ruf”.(Wikipedia)
