Reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall | Alexandria
Read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte. Challenging Victorian gender norms, Bronte's radical icon exposes domestic abuse and addiction when even mentioning these topics was taboo. Her fierce defense of women's autonomy and right to leave abusive marriages sparked outrage - yet presaged modern views on trauma, recovery and self-preservation. She dared suggest virtue requires independence, not submission.
