Charlotte Brontë

Charlotte Brontë was born in 1816 and was sent as a child to the boarding school at Cowan Bridge, where her two elder sisters fell ill before dying in 1825; she taught in Brussels, where she became attached to the head of the boarding school, and with Emily and Anne published a collection of poems that sold two copies. She published three novels under a pseudonym that did not reveal her sex. The last survivor of the siblings, she married at thirty-eight and died the following year, in 1855, while pregnant.
