The Woman Who Gave is a lost 1918 American silent melodrama film directed by Kenean Buel and starring Evelyn Nesbit, a former showgirl involved in a 1906 scandal. The film was produced and distributed by the Fox Film Corporation. The film went into release the day before fighting in World War I ended.
Like many American films of the time, The Woman Who Gave was subject to restrictions and cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required a cut, in Reel 1, of the intertitle "Colette is not that kind", the entire struggle incident including closeups the man suggestively leering at the young woman, the woman's look of fear, the dragging of the woman towards the bedroom, and the two intertitles "Let me go or I'll kill myself" and "You are mine and there is no escape", Reel 2, all closeups of men at table looking salaciously at young semi-nude woman on table, the first and third scenes of semi-nude woman on table and to flash the second scene, and, Reel 4, the man pulling the gown off of the woman's shoulder and kissing her.
