La Capital de Mar del Plata (Argentina) presents the re-edition of María Negroni's Cartas Extaordinarias, originally published in 2013,  where the author publishes imaginary letters of different writers:
“Cartas extraordinarias” no es la excepción. Se trata de un exquisito volumen de 22 correspondencias apócrifas de autores que, en su mayoría, formaron parte de la colección Robin Hood. Aquellos libros de tapas amarillas marcaron la infancia de tres generaciones argentinas con novelas como “Mujercitas”, “Jane Eyre”, “Alicia en el país de las maravillas”, “Robinson Crusoe” o la saga de Tom Sawyer de Mark Twain. (Rocío Ibarlucía) (Translation)
The author imagines a letter from Charlotte Brontë to Monsieur Heger dated January 17, 1848 that begins like this:
Cher Monsieur,
Ha pasado mucho tiempo -demasiado- desde que usted  y Madame Héger, me impusieron la regla de espaciar mis cartas -sin aclarar que yo escribiría sola-, que nunca más recibiría de usted una cortesía, nada que pudiera ayudarme a convertir mi vida en significado, a encontrar el secreto -fatal y prestigioso- de las cosas.

The University of York uses reading and creative writing for helping healing in victims of domestic abuse:
As part of the Coercive Control: From Literature into Law project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, Dr Hannah Roche at the University of York and Professor Katy Mullin at the University of Leeds have worked with the Bradford-based charity Staying Put to organise a series of workshops with women with lived experience of domestic abuse and sexual violence. 
The group has discussed fiction and poetry by writers ranging from the Brontës to Bernardine Evaristo. The texts and extracts have helped women in the group to recognise the signs and patterns of coercive control and to process their own experiences. 
Glamour discusses what a book butler is and interviews the resident book butler at University Arms in Cambridge, Margherita Zeviani:
Margherita quickly asked me if I gravitate towards female writers. Funny, as I never realised but a lot of authors I read are women, so yes. They’re prominent in the writers she gravitates towards too, she loves the Brontë sisters and Jane Eyre is a book she recommends everyone read. (Hattie Cotmore)
The Indiependent discusses the 'unhinged woman' trope:
Despite common belief, the ‘unhinged woman’ trope has been around for a while – the unnamed narrator of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper (1892), Bertha Mason of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre (1847), Lady Macbeth of Shakespeare’s Macbeth (1623)… The list goes on.  (Emily Fletcher)

Coleccionablesblog (Argentina) announces the release of the Novelas Eternas RBA collection in Argentina, which includes Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. AnneBrontë.org describes Charlotte Brontë's 1854 honeymoon in Ireland, detailing her travels and experiences sharing Brontë's reflections on married life upon returning home, as expressed in her letters to friends.
