Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë
"Agnes Grey" by Anne Brontë is a novel first published in December 1847. Drawing from Brontë's own experiences, it follows Agnes Grey, a young woman who becomes a governess to wealthy English families. She encounters spoiled, cruel children, indifferent parents, and the isolating reality of her precarious position. Through Agnes's struggles with oppression and mistreatment, the novel explores themes of women's independence, empathy, and personal growth. A quiet hope emerges when she
meets the kind curate Mr. Weston, offering a glimpse of understanding in her constrained world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
