    So, if I'm getting this right: for a woman who has displayed exceptional courage, artistic talent, ingenuity or intellectual brilliance for her time-- especially given the restrictions that many women have historically faced to their ambitions-- these accomplishments are clearly evidence of the fact that such a woman was not, in fact, a woman at all...
    These people are beyond parody, at this point. We've gone so far along the progressive "women are just as valuable and capable of greatness as men" idea, that we've somehow circled back around to "only men are capable of achieving greatness". Well done, everyone.

    Part of the reasoning by the Parsonage is that they want all their visitors to feel “safe” within their museum!! I have never in my life needed to feel safe in a literary museum because of my sexual identity. The museum should be accessible to all, because it’s a reflection of who the writers were, in their time. It’s 200 years since these sisters were born, how can anyone inject “todays way of thinking” into the stories that were as ahead of their time as it could be. Utter madness and I am so disappointed in the parsonage for this.

    I wanted Anne Bronte to go on our £10 note, instead of Jane Austin. Nothing against Jane Austin, but she has had quite a lot of publicity. Anne Bronte has not had enough publicity! She needs more, for the benefit of the young ladies of today.
    'The Tennant of Wildfell Hall' is based on a true story which had happened some years before. SPOILER ALERT. But, unlike the real-life story, Anne gives us a happy ending. It shows the appalling, officially legal sexism of the time - which some young people nowadays seem to need to be taught about.

    Jane Eyre did not go back to Rochester because she was willing to live with him as his mistress. She went back because she heard him calling to her in a dream and she was still in love with him. There was never the least intimation that she would have lived with him as his mistress, she was deeply Christian and extremely proper. This is a wonderful book made even more fascinating in the context of the strange childhood and history of Charlotte Bronte, who as you noted was not gender queer.

    New York Philharmonic introduced the behind the curtain rule to ensure Black players received equal treatment. Once women learned not to use heels, their representation rocked up from 5 to 50%. Jane Eyre right up with the greatest.

    1. I instantly thought of Andrew Norton writing as Andrew North.
    2. Men also write under female pseudonyms to get published in romance markets.
    3, The museum is engaging in misogyny -- they are in effect denying that "normal" women could have accomplished such things. (I have fragmentary memories of Colin Wilson writing about someone who tried to persuade him that transsexual people were the really creative ones.)

    Haven’t read any of their books but I have read Pride and Prejudice and that’s pretty much the same thing. The women in that novel were completely heterosexual. We’re arguing about sexual preferences because our masters want to distract us from relevant matters.

    Acton, Ellis and Currer Bell. It’s well documented the reason why they used these pseudonyms. Btw, my favourite book is The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and it’s no coincidence the initials WH are the same as Wuthering Heights.

    Jane Eyre is a very beautiful book; you are right. It is my second favourite book. Huck Finn takes the biscuit. I didn't like Pride and Prejudice so much but I think it was really written for women. Generally, though, it was far better than average. Some minor biographies are practically unknown but incredibly written. O! Matron by Gladys Hardy for example.
    This putting new gay heads on old shoulders reminds me of Thatchell se**ising Cardinal Newman; completely dogmatic and rather rude.

    The things museums have to do to keep attracting a younger visitor audience. I have worked in the museum sector and all I can say is ‘it’s interesting’ 😂 I’m not without a little insight into The Brontë Parsonage museum. For the feminists out there all this does is denigrate what women like the Brontes had to deal with in order to be taken seriously!😂🇬🇧

    Does the term "gender queer" mean heterosexual but divergent in some fashion from whatever the prevailing gender norms of the respective time were?
    The Bronte sisters certainly defied norms of the time (thank goodness or we wouldn't have their wonderful literary works otherwise) and carved out a niche for themselves probably largely closed off to other women previously through chauvinistic or witheringly inaccurate ideas pertaining to the abilities and talents of women .
    I'm not a fan of the new fangled terminology which reduces everything to some sort of LGBT related niche though. It wouldn't be inaccurate to say they were gifted and driven women determined to contribute to the literary world of the time and adopted a means to skirt barriers of the time that would've prevented them from doing so otherwise.
