"Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts. . ." (95)
Jane has currently taken a job as the governess at Thornfield. Jane describes in the quote how she thinks its unfair how women are restrained to domestic duties and can't explore other fields of service. Its clear throughout the novel that Jane does not want to accept a life of domesticity and fights the idea until the end of the novel.
