Initially, Thompson’s book encouraged me to lust change in the…

Feminism is inclusive of women of all backgrounds, races, and cultures, which Bronte fails to represent in the whitewashed Jane Eyre. In a rather opposite manner, various women in the novel are derogated and denigrated due to their different upbringings. When Jane first acknowledges Bertha’s existence, she reports her to Rochester as having “‘a discoloured face - it was a savage face….fearful blackened inflation of the lineaments! ...the lips were swelled and dark’” (Bronte 283-284). As Jane’s…
