This week, Marta describes the plot of Jane Eyre and explains why it was so revolutionary for her. Madeline explains why she isn't quite as in love with the novel as her mother is. On the way, they talk about the recent Netflix show Queen's Gambit and how stories about plucky orphans have changed over the decades. As always, there are spoilers.

Works Discussed:

Jane Eyre- Charlotte Bronte
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
Wide Sargasso Sea - Jean Rhys
Queen's Gambit (Netflix, 2020)
The Snake Pit (20th Century Fox, 1948)
