This event really provided more context for me for Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre was able to have more freedom as a working woman but then at the same time she did not. As a governess she was above the maids and but she wan't quite equal with the family she lived with. It was silly how she was in a sense teaching Grace had to be a lady although she had never been a lady herself. Jane was able to work up from being, in a sense, an orphan to marryin Mr. Rochester, one of high class. Although there was an aspect of love in Janes case, just as her job led to Jane marrying Mr. Rochester and improving her class this event in history helped forge the way for women gaining more freedom in society.
