It's a slow news day, with only many sites reminding us of what we already knew: on this day in 1847,
Jane Eyre was published. It has been in print ever since during all those 172 years. Charlotte Brontë would be so proud.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind any readers who
may have missed it that the Brontë Society is asking for donations towards one of Charlotte's little books, which is to be auctioned in Paris in mid-November. Do please
consider donating any amount - large or small - towards it and thus be part of Brontë history forever.
La Razón (Spain) comments on the two women writers, Margaret Atwood and Bernardine Evaristo, who won the Booker Prize and is glad that women no longer need to hide their identity behind pseudonyms, like the Brontës and many others did.
