A fixture in the literary canon, Charlotte Brontë is revered by readers all over the world. Her novels featuring unforgettable, strong heroines still resonate with millions today. And who could forget one of literature's best-known lines: "Reader, I married him" from her classic novel Jane Eyre? Part of a remarkable family that produced three acclaimed female writers at a time in nineteenth-century Britain when few women wrote, and fewer were published, Bronté has become a great source of inspiration to writers, especially women, ever since. Now in Reader, I Married Him, twenty of today's most celebrated women authors have spun original stories, using the opening line from Jane Eyre as a springboard for their own flights of imagination. 600 10 Brontë, Charlotte,|d1816-1855.|tJane Eyre|xInfluence. 650 0 Short stories|xWomen authors. 655 7 Short stories.|2lcgft 700 1 Chevalier, Tracy,|eeditor. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aHadley, Tessa.|tMy mother's wedding. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aHall, Sarah,|d1974-|tLuxury hour. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aDunmore, Helen,|d1952-|tGrace Poole her testimony. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aGunn, Kirsty.|tDangerous dog. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aBriscoe, Joanna|c(Novelist).|tTo hold. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aGardam, Jane.|tIt's a man's life, ladies. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aDonoghue, Emma,|d1969-|tSince first I saw your face. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aHill, Susan,|d1942-|tReader, I married him. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aProse, Francine,|d1947-|tMirror. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aShafak, Elif,|d1971-|tMigrating bird. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aWyld, Evie.|tBehind the mountain. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aPark, Patricia|c(Fiction writer). |tChina from Buenos Aires. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aVickers, Salley.|tReader, she married me. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aChevalier, Tracy.|tDorset gap. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aMohamed, Nadifa,|d1981-|tParty girl. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aFreud, Esther.|tTransference. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aGrant, Linda,|d1942-|tMash-up. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aShriver, Lionel.|tSelf-seeding sycamore. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aNiffenegger, Audrey.|tOrphan exchange. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aSerpell, Namwali,|d1980-|tDouble men. 700 12 |iContainer of (work):|aMcCracken, Elizabeth.|tRobinson Crusoe at the waterpark.
