We love how readers of comic sites are finding out via Die #9 that the young Brontës weren't as dull as they may have previously thought. From Polygon:

DIE #9
Did you know that the Brontë sisters and their brother all had a shared fantasy world that they would write stories and plays about? Because I didn’t until I read Die #9. (Susana Polo)

Jane Eyre
If you’re a Charlotte Brontë fan, then look at paying a visit to White Edge Lodge, a cottage that stood in for Moor House in the 2011 adaptation of Jane Eyre. It contains everything you’d want from a magical retreat into Brontë’s world: it’s in a beautiful rural area with fantastic views of the Peak District, and it also has a wood-burning stove, fireplace, and roll-top bath. In the film, White Edge Lodge was used as the home of the Rivers family, who take in the protagonist after she runs away from Mr. Rochester. You’ll be in better spirits than Jane during your stay; surrounded by heather-covered moorland, the cottage simply oozes romance.

White Edge Lodge is a National Trust property.

The Brontë sisters in The Vanished Bride by Bella Ellis
Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë become lady detectives when they set off across the windswept moors in pursuit of the truth in 1845 Yorkshire. In Bella Ellis’s novel, a young bride has gone missing from her home leaving no trace save a large pool of blood and a slew of dark rumours about her marriage. The sisters use their resourcefulness and boundless imagination when they spot unsettling details about the crime scene. There’s plenty of allusion to the sisters’ books and their characters with a gothic and theatrical atmosphere and a tale rollicking with romance, ghosts, peril, madness and feminist commentary of the Victorian kind. This is the first in the Brontë sisters mystery series, written by author Rowan Coleman using the pseudonym inspired by Emily Brontë’s pen name Ellis Bell. See what she did there?

Youth Incorporated recommends some 'Classic Books You Must Add To Your Reading List' like

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
From the writing family of Brontë sisters, Emily Brontë’s first, completed novel, Wuthering Heights brought the themes of Goth through a moorland setting. There is a stark depiction of mental and physical cruelty. Challenging strict Victorian ideals regarding religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes, and gender inequality, it explores the effects of envy, nostalgia, pessimism, and resentment.
It later inspired many adaptations, including film, radio and television dramatizations; a musical; a ballet; operas. It truly is a classic text!
If you like Wuthering Heights, you might want to read: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. (Manukriti)

Republic World also lists Wuthering Heights as one of several 'Gothic Novels That Are A Classic And Must Be Read By Bibliophiles'.

Wuthering Heights
Not as horrifying as the other books in the list, Wuthering Heights falls in the category of romantic gothic novels. Revolving around two families, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and one orphan boy Heathcliff, this novel by Emily Brontë popularised the bleak Yorkshire moors of England more than ever. The place has almost become a pilgrimage for the Brontë fans. Moving over two generations, Wuthering Heights has suicide, ghosts and madness in its plot which makes one of the coveted classic gothic novels. (Shruti Mukherjee)

A contributor to Kentucky Kernel makes an interesting point:

Just the other day in one of my classes, my professor used a female makeup brand as an example in her lecture. She immediately apologized to the men in the room for having to sit through this example. How terrifying it must have been for them to see a picture of a makeup brand displayed so largely on the projector. I know my professor did not mean any harm by this or know what she was saying. I also know that nobody in my class—both men and women—were offended by what she said. But I do believe that comments like these creep into our unconscious and affect our view on men and women in ways that we do not realize. [...]
We need to stop apologizing for simply being women. This is just one of the subtle acts of sexism that further instills in us that we are not as important, intelligent, or respected as men. I am a feminist with strong beliefs in the importance of female empowerment, yet it still took me a while to see this debilitating trend in education. It is sad and frightening to think of the other oh-so-subtle comments and images we hear and see every day that creep into our minds and tear down our self-image as women. It is these every day, inconspicuous, subtle acts of sexism that continue to perpetuate the cycle, and we need to begin identifying them and calling them out when we see them. I do not want my daughter, or son, to grow up hearing a fifteen-minute remorseful apology on why the boys in their class should suck it up and read “Jane Eyre.” (Lauren Suchanek)
