Antigone wrote:On this day in 1839, Charlotte Brontë wrote to the Reverend Henry Nussey, declining marriage. The 23-year-old Brontë told him that he would find her "romantic and eccentric" and not practical enough to be a clergyman's wife. Rather than marry, Brontë struggled as a teacher and governess to help support her brother Branwell's literary aspirations. In the end, Branwell's excesses destroyed him; his sisters, though, all became literary figures.
I wonder how many women were brave enough to take the step of remaining single throughout their lives, because they did not want the drudgery of marriage.
