There are many classic works of literature, but few have remained in the mainstream consciousness for as long as this incredible book. Jane Eyre is the tale of an orphaned girl, living in Victorian England who matures into a confident and self-assured woman. The book narrates through 5 stages of this transition. It is considered by many scholars to be one of the first feminist or proto-feminist novels, due to the fact that it never portrays the protagonist (Jane) as a damsel in distress, which was a common trend in literature featuring female protagonists at the time.
First published in 1847, the book has been translated into more than 30 languages and its last edition alone sold more than 1 million copies.
