Brontesaurus: Barrier Breaking Feminist Vision

Since this is the last blog I have to post for my class, I thought I would go out on a bang...or a boom of laughter. Being a feminist and an English major, I found this link to be EXTREMELY funny. The Bronte sisters, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne, were Victorian authors who wrote books under the pseudonyms Currer, Ellis, and Acton, respectively. Admittedly, I have only read the work of Emily Bronte, who wrote Wuthering Heights. Although she wrote under the more masculine pseudonym, her book was not very well received during her time because her character Heathcliff was never punished for his immoral actions. The other two sisters, though, I believe were well received during the time. The link below shows a commercial (which never aired) featuring action figures made of the three Bronte sisters. I find it quite amusing, especially their "Brontesaurus mode" which features "barrier breaking feminist vision." I can only hope that my feminist vision is barrier breaking just like the Brontesaurus!
