Her Awakening is a 1911 short predating feature-length films starring comedienne Mabel Normand and directed by D. W. Griffith. Normand portrays a effervescent young woman ashamed to introduce her poorly dressed mother to her elegant suitor. This early comedy/drama helped launch Normand's career.
It was produced by the Biograph Company when it and many other early film studios in America's first motion picture industry were based in Fort Lee, New Jersey at the beginning of the 20th century.[1][2][3] and was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 2006 as part of a one-night program about the city's brief reign as movie capital of the United States.
