#OTD in 1816 the brilliant novelist #CharlotteBronte was born.
I am forever grateful for the solace her #novels have given me, the illumination I have found in researching her life and work, and the great honor and thrill it has been to play her and her heroine #JaneEyre on stage

The #AbigailAdams Birthplace in #Weymouth , MA opened for the season today!
One of our interpreters spent a delightful afternoon learning more about the house, and absorbing the atmosphere in which the extraordinary correspondence between #JohnAdams and #AbigailAdams began.

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”

Happy Birthday to Charlotte Brontë born on this day in 1816!
