lizzybethrae 's review for:
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
by Anne Brontë
I read this book 7 years ago and just casually remembered how amazing it is and so read a bunch of reviews which talked about the history and fallout for Anne Bronte and now I love it even more.
Things I remember 7 years later after reading it one time:
1) The spookily similar way that the abusive relationship develops and evolves over time back then compared to what we think of in modern day
2) How it countered two dimensional "marketed/mainstream feminism" with a heavy dose of female autonomy which is the root of what I consider actual feminism - even if the outcome/choice of that autonomy was unexpected (like can we quit it with the female superheroes and focus on creating full, complex characters who aren't just literally strong as if that somehow fixes everything)
3) How it played on the "I'm a Nice Guy" garbage which was apparently around in perfect clarity in the 19th century
Can't believe I don't own a copy of this. I think I need to.
