English novelist and poet
Charlotte Brontë was an English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters who survived into adulthood and whose novels became classics of English literature.
As a classic novel written in the Victorian era, Jane Eyre is thought to be one of the reasons women’s equality has progressed to the extent that it has. Moreover, the novel discusses still-relevant social issues such as women’s employment, genteel poverty, marriage, and education.
