With Austen, it's of two societal classes trying to make it work. The exception would be "Emma" and "Northanger Abbey." With the Brontës, , such as Jane, a governess to Rochester's niece (so definite class imbalance), and Heathcliff was a servant to Cathy. What are your thoughts on this topic?

Nouvelle-Calédonie: l’accord de Bougival réveille les spectres de la division
Le projet signé mi-juillet devrait être enterré par le FLNKS le 9 août, à l’occasion d’un congrès extraordinaire. Suscitant une forte opposition parmi les indépendantistes, il questionne bien au-delà de leurs rangs. Beaucoup redoutent une stratégie de division dangereuse.

Today in Labor History August 1, 1938: Police opened fire on 200 unarmed trade unionists protesting the unloading of a ship in Hilo Harbor, on the Big Island of Hawaii, in what became known as "the Hilo Massacre." The protest was in support of striking waterfront workers. 50 workers were injured. Police also used tear gas and bayonets. The workers came from numerous ethnic backgrounds, including Japanese, Chinese, Native Hawaiian, Luso (Portuguese) and Filipino. They belonged to several unions, including the ILWU. They were fighting for equal pay to dockers on the U.S. west coast and for a closed, union shop. Harry Kamoku (depicted in the original woodblock poster shown in this post) was the primary organizer and leader of the strike, as well as a member of Hawaii’s first union to be legally recognized. He was a Chinese-Hawaiian, a longshoreman, born in Hilo.
