Woman and Wife is a 1918 American silent drama film directed by Edward Jose and starring Alice Brady.

[2] As described in a film magazine,[3] Jane Eyre (Brady) is sent to an orphan's home by her domineering aunt, and is expelled from that institution after she slaps the superintendent's face for trying to embrace her.

He hides her in a room, and while the household is asleep the demented woman escapes and stabs Edward.

Upon his recovery, the wedding proceeds, and at its height Edward's demented wife escapes from her room and interrupts the ceremony.

For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required a cut in Reel 1 of the first scenes of the woman drinking.
