Consider: "Winter People" stars McGillis as a woman who lives by herself in an isolated community of mountain people. It's early in the 1930s. She has a young son. She is an outsider, because the father of the child has not been publicly acknowledged; actually, it's a young man from the clan that's feuding with her family.
