Meer over het boek

Charlotte Brontë's work challenges Victorian conventions by presenting a strong feminist perspective through its protagonist, Jane Eyre. The narrative confronts the denial of women's sexual identity and passion, illustrating that women can be both passionate and fulfilled in an equal partnership. This groundbreaking approach not only reshapes the portrayal of female characters but also highlights the importance of mutual respect and equality in marriage, making it a significant contribution to literature and women's rights.
