Jane Eyre research paper: Feminist critics?

Are there any critics that have commented on Jane Eyre and implicated that it is either Feminist or helped to inspire the Feminist movement? Or that the novel was one of the first to show the human side of women and showed that women have their own independent feelings and emotions, and have the same kinds of aspirations as men? That women deserve a chance at employing their faculties and lead a meaningful career instead of a sedentary life at home?

I really need to find some critics that agree with anything I said up there. Help?
