Author Bio
Born in 1816, Charlotte Bronte was the eldest of the three celebrated Bronte sisters. Under the care of her father, Charlotte was educated, and encouraged to take an interest in natural history. This freedom inspired Charlotte to argue strongly for the intellectual worth of women through her novels, and her success and the respect she won paved the way for future female authors.
