| Abstract | Teaching has a history in which women figure prominently. Driven by need and ambition, many women worked as schoolteachers in the nineteenth century, although not necessarily attracted by the work itself. This essay focuses on Charlotte Bronte, examining the constraints and values that account for her choice of teaching as a career. It is based on two literary masterpieces: Charlotte Bronte's novel "Villette" and a biography of Bronte, (Mrs. Gaskell's "Life of Charlotte Bronte"). The aim is to provide reflection about conditions of teaching through the presentation of a woman's story, fictional and lived, with complex and concrete content, crafted with literary genius, and capable of bringing universal and time-bound questions to the attention of the reader. It accordingly raises philosphical issues of general human interest in a specific context: questions concerning choice and change, freedom and love, self-realization and the pursuit of goodness. In particular, it urges a consideration of the paradox that many of the structural features of teaching regarded as evils today--such as eased entry, low retention, flat careers--fit with the lives of women that are typically contingent on or coordinated with the needs of others.
