How can she arouse the eminent attention of the readers throughout the world? Because Jane Eyre stands for an idealized woman in the 19th century.

Chapter One The Development of Jane Eyre’s Resistance
1.1 Outburst period at Gateshead
Jane Eyre seems to be pale, thin and weak. She is like a piece of dust, nobody pays attention to her. At any time she may disappear. She was born an orphan, with an unfortunate family and long time repressive feeling; she builds up her resistant emotion. Under this background, everyone looks down upon her. Jane asks herself ―why was I always suffering, always browbeaten, always abused, for ever condemned.‖ (Bronte, 2002:13) Her reason says ―unjust!-unjust!‖ (Bronte, 2002:14) A first angry voice bursts out from her deep heart. When John beats her again, she attacks him viciously. She shouts at him, ―Wicked and cruel boy! You are like a murderer —you are like a slave-driver—you are like the Roman emperors!" (Bronte, 2002:7) When Mrs. Reed tells Mr. Brocklehurst that Jane has a bad character and a deceitful disposition, she defends that ―I am not deceitful: if I were, I should say I loved you; but I declare I do not love you: I dislike you the worst of anybody in the world except John Reed; and this book about the liar, you may give it to your girl, Georgiana, for it is she who tells lies, and not I." (Bronte, 2002:48) However, Jane is a brave soldier who dares to face up all kinds of injustice and fights against them. Before she leaves Gateshead, she rebukes her aunt‘s cruelty, ―How dare I, Mrs. Reed? How dare I? Because it is the truth. You think I have no feelings and that I can do without one bit of love or kindness; but I cannot live so: and you have no pity. I shall remember how you thrust me back—roughly and violently thrust me back—into the red- room, and locked me up there, to my dying day; though I was in agony; though I cried out, while suffocating with distress, ?Have mercy! Have mercy, Aunt Reed!‘ And that punishment you made me suffer because your wicked boy struck me—knocked me down for nothing. I will tell anybody who asks me questions, this exact tale. People think you a good woman, but you are bad, hard-hearted. You are deceitful!‖ (Bronte, 2002:49) Jane suffers various violent treatments by her aunt and

Chapter One The Development of Jane Eyre‘s Resistance
1.1 Outburst period at Gateshead
Jane Eyre seems to be pale, thin and weak. She is like a piece of dust, nobody pays attention to her. At any time she may disappear. She was born an orphan, with an unfortunate family and long time repressive feeling; she builds up her resistant emotion. Under this background, everyone looks down upon her.

People think you a good woman, but you are bad, hard-hearted. You are deceitful!‖ (Bronte, 2002:49) Jane suffers various violent treatments by her aunt and cousins; she tries her best to be a good girl but only results in failure in Mrs. Reed‘s eyes.
Jane resists and resists, but finally breaks out and speaks all her anger; Jane‘s courage frightens Mrs. Reed, for she knows Jane is right. In those days at Gateshead Hall, Jane's strong, brave and unbending characteristics are expressed step by step.

1 前 言
当今社会，女权主义受到越来越多人的重视，女权主义泛指妇女要求平等权利的社会思潮。又称男女平权主义、男女平等主义。女权主义是近代资产阶级启蒙思想运动和妇女解放运动的产物，提倡妇女在人类生活所有领域与男子具有同等权利。女权主义具有广泛的文化内涵，涉及政治、经济、法律、教育、宗教、伦理等领域。
在19世纪的英国，一位批评现实主义的文学女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特写出了一部代表女性主义思想的小说——《简·爱》。这部小说是夏洛蒂·勃朗特“诗意的生平写照”。书中的主人公简·爱是一个心地纯洁、善于思考的女性，她生活在社会底层，受尽磨难。但她有倔强的性格和勇于追求平等幸福的精神。这部小说以浓郁抒情的笔法和深刻细腻的心理描写，引人入胜地展示了男女主人公曲折起伏的爱情经历，歌颂了摆脱一切旧习俗和偏见。扎根于相互理解、相互尊重的基础之上的深挚爱情，具有强烈的震撼心灵的艺术力量。它最为成功之处在于塑造了一个敢于反抗，敢于争取自由和平等地位的妇女形象。
2 作者女权主义思想的产生
2.1 作者夏洛蒂·勃朗特的介绍
《简·爱》的作者--夏洛蒂·勃朗特(Charlotte Bronte) ，生于1816年英国北部的一个乡村牧师家庭。她所生活的的三十年间正是英国社会动荡的时代。资本主义正在发展并越来越暴露它内在的缺陷；劳资之间矛盾尖锐化；失业工人的贫困；大量的童工被残酷地折磨至死。社会和时代的不幸已经让这位女作家的家庭穷困潦倒，家庭的不幸更是让她陷入巨大的困境当中。母亲早逝，八岁的夏洛蒂被送进一所专收神职人员孤女的慈善性机构。在那里生活条件极其恶劣，她的两个姐姐玛丽亚和伊丽莎白因染上肺病而先后死去。于是夏洛蒂和妹妹艾米莉回到家乡，在荒凉的约克郡山区度过了童年。
15岁时她进了伍勒小姐办的学校读书，几年后又在这个学校当教师。后来她曾作家庭教师，但因不能忍受贵妇人、阔小姐对家庭教师的歧视和刻薄，放弃了家庭教师的谋生之路。她曾打算自办学校，为此她在姨母的资助下与艾米莉一起去意大利进修法语和德语。然而由于没有人来就读，学校没能办成。这一切都深深地影响了夏洛蒂·勃朗特的思想，使她从内心生发出一股强烈的追求自由、平等、独立的愿望，她要靠着自己撑起一片蓝天。她正像她成功塑造的人物形象简·爱一样，个子矮小，其貌不扬，充满智慧和独立的精神。
她虽外表古板沉默，却有着一颗女性和婉敏感的心。作为家中的长女，她从小就有一种关心他人的神圣责任感，以她娇弱的身躯承担了全家对外联络发展的重任。自强不息、奋斗进取成为她一生的主旋律。她的气质是浪漫和严谨的奇特结合，这就使她既热情奔放，耽于幻想，富于挑战精神；又保守稳重，约束自我，恪守传统的道德标准。她既是一个好女儿，好姐姐，好妻子，好朋友，具有温柔热情的一面，同时又是一个蔑视虚伪的上流社会，对丑恶的世态进行了犀利的讥讽的勇士。她性格的两方面构成了她丰富的内心世界。
在这样的时代、社会和家庭背景的影响下，在她自身性格的支配下，她逐渐形成了一种独特的女性主义思想：自尊、理性，追求平等，追求独立，自强自爱，具有高度的自我意识和平等意识。
2.2作品《简爱》的介绍
《简·爱》是英国19世纪著名的女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的代表作，女主人公简·爱是一个追求平等与自主的知识女性形象，本书以对一位"灰姑娘式"人物感人的奋斗史的刻画而取胜，是女性文学的代表作品。
