Description

Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë In 19th-century England, becoming a governess was a respectable career option for unmarried women. For Agnes Grey, it meant contributing to her family's income and asserting her independence after their financial situation became precarious. However, Agnes soon discovers that the reality of being a governess is far from ideal. She struggles with unruly children and faces disdain from some families she works for. It isn't until she meets Mr Weston, a young curate, that she finds kindness and support. This edition includes Charlotte Brontë's memoir of her sisters, providing valuable insight into the lives of these three talented writers and their experiences as women in Victorian society.
