The Tennant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte
Anne Bronte's second novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, was described as "coarse" and "brutal" at the time it was written (1848). Nineteenth century convention was that women belonged in the home, under their husbands thumb. (Indeed, the idiom "rule of thumb" comes from the law that a man could not beat his wife with anything thicker than his thumb). Bronte, however, goes against custom in this novel of perseverance and pride.

Yoga for the hands--sounds too good to be true. Do it at the office,
on an airplane, lying in bed. Seasoned yoga teacher Gertrud Hirschi has
used these hand postures to ease asthma, relieve flu symptoms, think
more effectively, relieve tension, even have a bowel movement. The
possibilities she attributes to these ancient Indian techniques are
endless. Join the tips of the index finger and thumb: this clears the
mind. Switch the thumb to the little finger: this restores the body's
fluid balance. It's not quite that easy, of course. Hirschi is careful
to lay out exercise regimens, related herbal remedies, and associated
affirmations. Like a classroom instructor, she guides with simultaneous
breathing advice and conjures up helpful images. From building
character to healing emotional pain, from bringing luck to connecting
with the divine, mudras can work wonders. Now limber up those digits
and lets get into spiritual shape. --Brian Bruya
