The Brontë sisters were brought up in a world of books that sparked their creativity and imagination from early childhood. They grew up to be women who were not afraid to tread territories only walked by male writers. They tackled subjects that were taboo in their days: divorce, bigamy, domestic violence, child abuse among many others. They were determined to speak for women. Their novels deal with universal issues of life.
Two hundred years have gone by since their birth and early deaths. They are timeless.
These sessions have been designed as spaces/moments for participants to share their knowledge, debate, discover and unfold different perspectives /opinions on the subject.
