Whether she cook or she slayed, we might never know. The only fact is she did one, possibly both

I love the Brontë sisters so much omg ❤️ although less gothic and spooky than Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights, the spectre of men is still there to haunt us.

Usually, when I have to read books for class I find myself skimming and dragging my way through it, but this book captured my attention unlike any I have read for class recently. This was my first Bronte book, and after reading it, I was shocked that I did not know the name Anne Bronte before. Her views on marriage, motherhood, womanhood, independence, and social norms were so advanced for her time, and I am sure that this was shocking to readers when it was published. I was invested the entire story, wondering what would happen next and if Helen would make it out. This book was inspiring and showed women at the time that they could make it out.
