The Weaker Sex is a 1948 British drama film directed by Roy Ward Baker and starring Ursula Jeans, Cecil Parker and Joan Hopkins. It was written by Esther McCracken, Paul Soskin and Val Valentine based on McCracken's 1944 play No Medals.
It was one of the most popular films at the British box office in 1948. The film's subject was what The New York Times described as the "heroics of that valiant legion of women who stood, but did not wait, through the long war years and the now dreary post war years."
