Charlotte Bronte is given credit for crafting what is considered the first of a long series of first-person narratives. Her Jane Eyre is not the usual beautiful, self-assured heroine, but rather has inspired the others, the misfits, the ones who have felt like outsiders to see themselves as strong, resilient and intelligent. Readers share their enthusiasm for Bronte's novel in a short video.
