Back to the point. Afra Bain proved that, perhaps, writing can earn money at the expense of some pleasant virtues. In the long run, writing will no longer be regarded as foolishness or insanity, but has practical importance. Maybe, her husband will leave the world one step ahead of her, or there will be unexpected disasters at home. At the end of the 18th century, hundreds of women began to translate or write countless crappy novels to earn some pocket money for themselves or to support their families. But now there is no trace in textbooks, but they can still be found at the four penny bookstall in Charing Cross Street. At the end of the 18th century, women were extremely active - they made speeches, organized rallies, wrote essays on Shakespeare, translated classic works - which proved that women could earn money by writing. Money adds some glory to the previous pastime. Perhaps, people still have reason to continue to laugh at them as "graffiti nerds", but no one can deny that they can put their money into their wallets. In this way, at the end of the 18th century, a change began. If I were to rewrite history, I would record this change in its original form, because in my opinion, it is more significant than the Crusade or the Rose War.

Middle class women began to write. Because, if Pride and Prejudice is indeed valuable, and Middlemarch, Villette and Wuthering Heights are indeed valuable, then the significance of women's writing is far more than I can prove in this hour. By women, I mean not only those noble women who are locked in the countryside and admire themselves in their folios, or are flattered by others, but also ordinary women. Without those pioneers, Jane Austen, Bronte sisters and George Eliot could not write, just as Shakespeare could not live without Marlowe, Marlowe could not live without Chaucer, and Chaucer could not live without those forgotten poets. It was they who tamed the rebellious language and paved the way for future generations. It should be noted that every masterpiece does not come to the world alone. They are the result of years of joint thinking and the crystallization of collective wisdom. Therefore, after a person's voice, it is the resonance of all people. Jane Austen should put a wreath on the tomb of Fanny Bernie, while George Eliot should pay tribute to the strong ghost of Eliza Carter, the old lady who firmly tied a bell on her bed so that she could get up early to learn Greek. All women should go to Afra Bain's grave and sprinkle flowers for her. Although she was buried in Westminster Abbey, which was somewhat shocking, it was also appropriate, because it was she who won them the right to express their feelings. Now we are at the beginning of the 19th century. It was here that I found for the first time that books written by women were placed on several bookshelves. But after I read the bookshelf, I couldn't help asking why, except for a few books, there are all novels in front of me? You should know that poetry is the original part of the creative impulse. "The Honor of Singers" is also a poetess. No matter in France or in England, female poets should precede female novelists. What's more, if you look at the four famous names, what do George Eliot and Emily Bronte have in common? Isn't Charlotte Bronte completely unable to understand Jane Austen? Except that they all have no children, it seems that they can be linked together. As long as four people can get together in a room, they are no more out of place than they are - so that it is assumed that their meeting and conversation can be so desirable. However, when they began to write, they did not know what power was influencing them, so they all chose novels.
