She Too Is A Woman) is a 1974 Indian Tamil-language film written and directed by Durai in his directorial debut.

[1][2] Avalum Penn Thaane is the directorial debut of Durai who also wrote the screenplay.

[2] The inspiration for the concept came when Durai who during his days as an assistant director was in a shoot at Mysore where he witnessed a group of prostitutes looking at the crew scouting for a chance to which Durai felt sympathy for them and this formed a basis for Avalum Penn Thaane.

Despite Durai wanting to end the film in a light manner, distributors were adamant that by having the conclusion of a girl starting a new life afresh after marriage would be rejected by audience so Durai unwillingly ended the film in a tragic manner.

[2] Kanthan of Kalki praised the performances of Muthuraman, Sumithra, M. R. R. Vasu and noted that hundred marks should be given to the dialogues written by Durai, he called the film as daringly fabricated picture and concluded that this A certified film is given A one certificate by fans due to the support of acting and direction.
