An alert for today, September 28, at the Brontë Parsonage Museum:
Parsonage Unwrapped: The Woman Question
Exclusive evening event
September 28th 2018 07:30pm - 09:00pm
2018 is the centenary of partial female suffrage, and our Parsonage Unwrapped event in September focuses on what it would have been like to be a working woman in the nineteenth century. The Brontë sisters knew from a young age that they would have to earn a living and were educated to become governesses and teachers, while the Brontë servant Martha Brown had barely left her teens before she began working as a servant to the Brontë family. This evening explores the working lives of the women of the Parsonage, and how they operated within the constraints and expectations of the age.
