Votes for Women!

I've discovered why I shouldn't watch Mary Poppins prior to starting on my History coursework - I just have that same song stuck in my head... 'Sister Suffragette' isn't a bad song, though, so I suppose I shouldn't complain.

I'm looking for feminist things in novels from the 1800s - from Jane Austen, to the Brontës, to Mary Shelley, and so on. We apparently get extra points for mentioning novels and the like in our research.

...Does anybody have any suggestions as to which characters, and which novels, would be best for something like this?

Welcome to 'A Chainless Soul'!

This is my literature blog, where I shall talk about... literature.
As one might expect, really.

My favourite authors, at present, are the Brontë sisters, who I think were utterly fascinating.
I think I may have been one of them, probably Charlotte, way back when. Isn't that special?

I think The Chronicles of Narnia are fairly blatantly an allegory for Christianity.
Aslan knows all, sees all, and is Jesus/God/whatever.
And he casts out Susan, who was my favourite Pevensie. What a git.

I read the spin-off novels produced by Doctor Who, I adore Frankenstein, I think The Last Man is so curious that it merits a re-read and I also believe that Wuthering Heights is one of the best novels ever.

If you shall excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, I have more novels to find.
