Celebrating Jane Eyre: An Evening of Eyresses

Madmen on the moors! Madwomen in the attic! A young woman in search of equality, dignity, and love! Do you love Jane Eyre? Of course you do! On the day that a new film adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's classic novel opens, join the writers and editors of Eyresses: The Zine for Jane Eyre Enthusiasts as we pay homage to one of literature's most enduring heroines.

In addition to Jane Eyre trivia (with prizes!) and dramatic readings of the text itself, you'll hear from Eyresses contributors:

• Sarah Bunting (Tomato Nation) on Hollywood hiring pretty people to portray plain Jane
• Zachary Lipez (Please Take Me Off the Guest List) and Jayson Green mount A Defense of Rochester
• Jeanne Vaccaro (Feminist Review) on Adrienne Rich, girl-on-girl literature, and reading while feminist
• Mikki Halpin (Chick Lib) on Jane Eyre as post-apocalyptic science fiction
• Melissa Febos (Whip Smart) reading from The Jane Eyre Community Cookbook
• Sherri Erwin (Jane Slayre)
