What? You want more? All right.
 
Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) was the daughter of an English clergyman. She had two older sisters, Elizabeth and Maria, who died in a typhus outbreak at their private school when she was young. She also had two younger sisters, [[Emily Bronte (Creator)|Emily Bronte]] and [[Anne Bronte (Creator)|Anne Bronte]], and a brother, Branwell.
 
A creative and imaginative girl from a young age, she ended up spending most of her adult life as a governess for rich children, or a teacher at a private school in Brussels.
Line 16:
Charlotte revealed her identity to the London literary circle, and began to meet with figures such as Elizabeth Gaskell and William Makepeace Thackery.
 
She went on to published ''Shirley'', ''[[Villette (Literature)|Villette]]'', and ''The Professor'', and to marry Arthur Bell Nicholls, a colleague of her father who had given her an [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]. Charlotte was pregnant with her first child when, tragically, she died - possibly from tuberculosis, possibly from dehydration and malnourishment as a result of severe morning sickness.
 
One of the most important writers of her time and an early feminist writer makes her [[Short Lived Big Impact]].
