Reception

Like many American films of the time, Just a Woman was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors cut, in Reel 4, the embrace between the husband and woman after the intertitle "I hope to be back soon", and, Reel 6, the intertitle "I want the court to understand" etc.[4]
