Shirley is a woman of independent means; her friend Caroline is not. Both struggle with what a woman's role is and can be. Their male counterparts - Louis, the powerless tutor, and Robert, his cloth-manufacturing brother - also stand at odds to society's expectations.
About the Author
The eldest in the famous literary trio of Brontë sisters, Charlotte Brontë was born on 21 April 1816 in Thornton, England. Having unsuccessfully tried her luck along with her sisters at running a school, Charlotte turned to writing and gave English literature such fictional masterpieces as Jane Eyre, Shirley and Villette. She also composed poetry like her sisters. They published their poetry as Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell, their pseudonyms, in 1846. Charlotte married in 1854. She was pregnant when she died probably of hyperemesis gravidarum on 31 March 1855.
