Profession: Wife

The Yorkshire Post proposes a complete Brontë tour for all the Yorkshire places you should visit:

The three sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne, remain some of the best-loved authors and poets to this day, with their works of Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall considered to be among the greatest literary masterpieces. Born in the village of Thornton and later associated with the village of Haworth, the family took much inspiration from their rural surroundings and poured it into their writing. Luckily, there are a wealth of locations fans can visit around Yorkshire to gain a little insight into the Brontë world. Here are a few must-visit spots. (Claire Schofield)

The chosen places are The Parsonage (in Haworth), the Brontë birthplace (in Thornton), Top Withens, Brontë country, Ponden Hall, the Brontë waterfall, Norton Conyers, the Haworth Parish Church, Oakwell Hall and The Old School Room.

Also, the Yorkshire Post echoes a vindicative tweet of the Brontë Parsonage Museum (but seems to forget where the Parsonage actually is):

Bestselling Yorkshire writer Charlotte Brontë's profession is listed as 'wife' on her death certificate.
They are some of the most successful and pioneering female authors in history.
Yet Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë's death certificates make no mention of their literary professions - instead labelling their official positions as 'wife', 'spinster' and 'daughter'.
While the entering of women in official records according to their male relatives' standing in society was common in the 19th century, it throws contemporary attitudes to the Yorkshire sisters' achievements into sharp focus.
The inequality was highlighted on International Women's Day by the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Keighley (SIC!), who Tweeted a photo of Jane Eyre author Charlotte's death certificate from 1855, which lists her profession as 'wife of curate', in reference to her husband Abraham Bell Nicholls.
Unmarried Anne was recorded as a 'spinster' when she died aged 29 after suffering from consumption. Emily, who also had tuberculosis, died at 30. As she was also unmarried, she was listed as 'daughter of Patrick Brontë'. (Grace Newton)

The Scarborough skyline in pictures in The Scarborough News:

St Mary's Church stands high above the old town, just below Scarborough Castle.''The church was built in the 12th century. It was once a large church with two towers (west and central), but was largely destroyed during the siege of Scarborough Castle in the English Civil War. The church was rebuilt in the late 17th century and restored in the mid 19th century.''The church has a large graveyard, with tombs mainly of the 18th and 19th centuries. A much-visited grave is that of Anne Brontë, who died in Scarborough in 1849. (Sue Wilkinson)

The Yorkshire Evening Post suggests a walk in the Leeds Bradford border:

Apperley Bridge is overshadowed by the extensive buildings and playing fields of Woodhouse Grove School. The school was opened in 1812 by the Methodist Church to educate the sons of Methodist ministers. It has a special link to the Brontës. The headmaster’s niece in those early days was one Maria Branwell and it was at Woodhouse Grove that she met her future husband, the Rev Patrick Brontë, a union that produced, perhaps, the most remarkable literary family the world has seen.

LitHub lists some of the best one-star Amazon reviews of Wuthering Heights. A very funny read:

Here’s something odd: the major theme of the one-star Amazon reviews of Wuthering Heights is . . . Jane Eyre. Many reviewers seem to have read Emily Brontë’s novel after loving her sister Charlotte’s, and then found themselves disappointed that literary style doesn’t run in the family. Lots of the reviews were actually for Jane Eyre, and several were for what sounds like a very bad S&M retelling of Jane Eyre, which I am now eager to read. (Emily Temple)

Julian Clary's Cultural Fix in The Times:

The poem/song that saved me
Parting by Charlotte Brontë. That we can “meet again in thought” is good to know sometimes.

Publishers Weekly discusses Virginia Woolf in the context of  Lyndall Gordon's Outsiders: Five Women Writers Who Changed the World:

[Lyndall] Gordon assigns each woman a primary role: Emily Brontë (visionary), George Eliot (outlaw), Mary Shelley (prodigy), Olive Schreiner (orator), and Virginia Woolf (explorer). (...) Here, Gordon shares some lesser-known biographical facts about Virginia Woolf:
The first published essay. It was while Virginia Stephen lived with her aunt Caroline that she picked up her pen to write professionally for the first time in November 1904. It was for a women’s supplement to a church magazine called The Guardian. The topic she chose was a pilgrimage to the Brontë Parsonage in Haworth. In the museum, above a bank on the steep village street, she’s “thrilled” to find the little oak stool “which Emily carried with her on her solitary moorland tramps, and on which she sat, if not to write, as they say, to think.” 

The Times briefly reviews Helen Dunmore's Girl Balancing and other stories:

In Grace Poole Her Testimony we get the story of Jane Eyre retold by the servant who cared for Mr Rochester’s mad wife. (Kate Saunders)

The Moscow-Pullman Daily News recommend books from the local library, including:

“The Brontës: A Life in Letters” by Juliet Barker
You’ve probably read “Jane Eyre” and “Wuthering Heights,” but do you know the tragic tale behind one of the world’s most beloved literary families? This landmark book demolishes the myths and provides new information based on first-hand research, Brontë family manuscripts and historical documents to tell the tale of Emily, Anne and Charlotte Brontë.

Being precise and truthful (an endangered value these days) is discussed in The Washington Post through the figure of Alex Trebek:

That question must be precisely worded. In Trebek’s world, there is no room for the hedging, fudging and squidging of the truth that dominates everyone else’s: “Who is: Brontë?” Yes, but which one? “What is: ‘Gangster’s Paradise’?” Oh, I’m sorry, we’re looking for ‘Gangsta’s Paradise.’” (Drew Goins)

Cleveland.com gives reason to watch the new MCU movie: Captain Marvel:

Female empowerment and equality are part of the film's DNA and the aspirational impact the movie is sure to have on a generation of young girls can't be understated. Yet, this isn't an overtly political film. Think more "Top Gun," less "Jane Eyre." (Joey Morona)

Vogue discusses the Sarah Burton fashion collection for Alexander McQueen:

Burton wanted to showcase the products, tradition, and culture of the England in which she was raised: the woolens, the local festival traditions (in which there are rose queens), the history of suffrage and its white-clad campaigners, the Brontës (regional heroines), and the codes of punk and new wave, which are ingrained in Burton even if she is too young to have seen Joy Division before it all went tragic. (Nicole Phelps)

Varsity interviews the writer Lijia Zhang:

Throughout her journey, Zhang draws upon many literary inspirations. She cites George Orwell’s four reasons for writing: egoism, aesthetic enthusiasm, historical impulse, and political purpose, as key drivers of her motivation to write. In particular, she remains drawn to Jane Eyre, “a plain-looking character full of spirit and longing”, Zhang comments. In more recent years, she mentions how reading her MA professor Blake Morrison’s memoir And When Did You Last See Your Father shaped the techniques she had used to complete her own memoir.

 Throughout history there have been talented female writers, but rarely did they get a fair crack of the whip.

Villette
Jane Eyre, eat your heart out. Lucy Snowe is by far the more interesting and compelling protagonist in Bronte’s underappreciated psychological study of a ‘difficult woman’. Lucy is, as we might put it around these parts, ‘a bit of a wagon’; she is cold and judgemental and hides even those feelings she yearns to express for others. There is also, this being Brontë, a feel of the gothic to the town of ‘Villette’ in Belgium, where Lucy is employed as a schoolteacher and has a delightfully flirtatious relationship with the effervescent Ginevra, when she’s not mooning over her brooding male colleague who may or may not end up lost at sea. Victorian dramas, where would we be without you? (Claire Hennessy in Head Stuff)

 16 Books To Read This International Women’s Day (...) Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë's only novel, was published in 1847 under the male pseudonym Ellis Bell. The story centres on a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, an orphan adopted by Catherine's father. Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and believing incorrectly his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man, who proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. Strangely romantic, there’s a reason passages from this passionate book make for popular wedding readings. (Sheerluxe)

Svenska Dagbladet (Sweden) reviews the performances of Jane Eyre in Göteborg:

Jane Eyre – av alla förfeminister ur den engelska 1800-talslitteraturen är hon väl lättast att ta till hjärtat. Hon är Askungen som reser sig ur förnedringen, skapar ett eget liv och besegrar alla orättvisor trots att hon är småväxt och nästan ful. Jane Eyre kompromissar aldrig, hon är stolt och stark och hennes färd mot lyckan innehåller också en rad starkt symboliska händelser. (Lars Ring) (Translation)

Stern (Germany) talks about the success of the Barbie dolls:

Mir fielen die Geschwister Brontë ein. Charlotte, Emily, Anne und Branwell Brontë spielten ihre Geschichten mit Zinnsoldaten durch, bevor sie die Szenen zu Papier brachten. Ihre Geschichten gehören heute zur Weltliteratur. Vielleicht liegt hier das Geheimnis von Barbies Erfolg.(Kerstin Herrkind) (Translation)

Onirik reviews the comic Jane by Aline Brush McKenna and Ramón K. Pérez:

La version d’Aline Brosh MacKenna est vraiment libre, ne reprenant finalement l’intrigue originelle que dans ses grandes lignes. C’est moderne aussi, car Jane vit en son temps, et quand elle commence une histoire d’amour avec son patron, elle n’est pas farouche. Puristes, attention !
Ramon Pérez et Irma Kniivila ont une approche intéressante, calquée sur l’avancée de l’intrigue. Ainsi, après une triste enfance en noir et blanc, la couleur s’impose-t-elle petit à petit, au gré des étapes qui jalonnent la vie de Jane, avec un maximum de couleurs quand tout semble lui réussir. (Translation)

Las heroínas que habitan las novelas Jane Eyre, Cumbres Borrascosas y Villette son personajes que siguen seduciendo a los lectores del siglo 21. “Estas novelas están tan vivas que desearía resucitar a las hermanas Brontë, su vida, su respiración, su presencia corporal”, apunta Lutz.
