Charlotte Brontë
Charlotte Brontë was a nineteenth-century English novelist, best known for *Jane Eyre* (1847), a pioneering work combining Gothic atmosphere with psychological depth and proto-feminist themes.
The eldest of three literary sisters—alongside Emily and Anne—she published initially under the pseudonym Currer Bell to avoid gender bias.
Her work explored female independence, passion, and social constraint in Victorian England.
