Author Bio for Brontë, Charlotte
Charlotte Brontë (1817-1855) was an English novelist and poet. She is well known for her book "Jane Eyre". She pioneered the first person narrative that focused on the protagonist's moral and spiritual development. In Jane Eyre, the heroine, a plain woman of no means, fights hard to win her heart's desire and was seen as an early model for today's feminist movement. Faded Page hosts Brontë's second novel, "Shirley", a melodrama about two women set against the backdrop of England's Industrial Revolution. The novel has reputed to have been the inspiration for the name 'Shirley' to become a woman's name. Prior to the book's publication it was primarily a man's name. (Charlotte Brontë: A Writer's Life)
