This columnist from Radio Ciudad de la Habana (Cuba) should reread Jane Eyre perhaps.

Quienes hayan leído novelas decimonónicas de autores ingleses, Jane Eyre u Orgullo y prejuicio, por ejemplo, tienen una idea de cómo eran las damas de la aristocracia inglesa en aquel tiempo:  más o menos tan estiradas y desdeñosas como ahora, pero con peluca y trajes complicados. También la literatura inglesa retrata muy bien las distantes, exigentes y poco afectuosas relaciones de aquellas madres con sus hijos. Las damas inglesas estaban muy conscientes de que parían y educaban herederos para que se hicieran cargo de títulos de abolengo, enormes propiedades y, en ocasiones, poderosas posiciones sociales y fortunas. Eran las mantenedoras de un rígido orden social que no estaba destinado cambio alguno, por más que ellas mismas se permitieran ciertas libertades personales, en especial de índole intelectual.
