When the author wrote Jane Eyre, Britain was already the largest industrial country in the world, but the status of British women has not changed, and they are still in a subordinate and dependent position. Women's survival goal is to marry into a rich family, even if they can't be born into a rich family, they should strive to gain wealth and status through marriage. The only choice for women's career is to be a good wife and mother. As a writer, women will be regarded as violating their due femininity and will be violently attacked by men. From the beginning of Charlotte sisters' works using masculine pseudonyms, we can imagine the dilemma faced by female writers at that time. Jane Eyre was written under this passive background.
