Agnes Grey is the heroine of Anne Brontë’s novel of the same name. Agnes is a determined young woman who seeks to make her way in the world by earning a living as a governess. However, life as a governess proves difficult for the kind-hearted Agnes, who finds herself entirely at the mercy of cruel employers and poorly behaved pupils. Agnes maintains her integrity and good nature despite these challenges. This monochromatic design features a darker shade of grey on a lighter grey background, befitting the title character of Agnes Grey.
