This article was called "Colonialism and the Figurative Strategy of 'Jane Eyre'," written by Susan L. Meyer. The article’s thesis was that Charlotte Brontë used race in Jane Eyre to showcase gender issues. This is a slight combination of both gender and feminist criticism, as well as a bit of post-colonial criticism, as the article’s usage of race as a contrasting point shows that race (relating to previously British-controlled countries and/or colonies) was another key issue in the day Jane Eyre was written.
