“Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel … it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags.”

Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre was published #OnThisDay in 1847.
