"...and we stood at God's feet, equal,---as we are!" Chapter 23
In this quote Jane has professed her love to Mr. Rochester. Not only does Jane express her love for Mr. Rochester,but she also declares herself equal to him as well. This is powerful because during that time period, women were looked upon as inferior. It is because of brave women like Charlette Bronte, who not only possessed the the ability to write books like Jane Eyre but also the courage, many women in the 21st centurary are treated with more respect and dignaty then in the past.

Jane Eyre is sometimes called the first feminist in English Literature. A challenge - anyone before her?
