Our Tribute to Jane Eyre, the Heroine to Get Us Through 2017

Start the slide show From being orphaned at birth to getting locked up by a psycho aunt and, eventually, surviving typhus, her future husband’s nasty ex, and a fire (of course), Jane Eyre still manages to come out as a boss at the end of it all. Allow us to share with you a tribute to the first-lady of moors-trudging, herself. Hopefully you’ll see why we intend to return to her, again and again, for life advice as we navigate the next twelve months.
