I did NOT see that coming

I am enjoying this more than I did while reading Jane Eyre, and I have now added Charlotte Brontë to the list of authors I would want to have a conversation with.

[ ] „,Joe, do you seriously think all the wisdom in the world is lodged in male skulls?‘“
[ ] „,Man of prejudice, good-bye.‘“

It took until page 196 to actually meet Shirley, but I am willing to accept this because I am intrigued by the title of Volume 2, chapter VII: „Which the genteel reader is recommended to skip, low persons being here introduced.“

Charlotte is not holding back with this one.

„At heart, he could not abide sense in women: he liked to see them as silly, as light-headed, as vain, as open to ridicule as possible; because they were then in reality what he held them to be, and wished them to be,—inferior: toys to play with, to amuse a vacant hour and to be thrown away.“
