Her father was an Anglican clergyman and her mother died early, so she and her sisters were under the care of their strict, religious aunt. When they were young, the children of the Bronte listened to the stories of the country folk and enjoyed their imagination, which inspired them to create stories. In 1 824, Charlotte and her two sisters entered the Clergy Daughter’s School at Cowan Bridge. She attended Roe Head School between 1831 and 1832, and then taught at the same school in the following decade. As a notable English realistic female writer in the 19th century, she is considered to be the brightest star of the female literature in English and was praised as one of the prominent novelists in modern Britain by Marx. Her most famous novel Jane Eyre places an emphasis on women In the past 40 years Charlotte Bronte’s reputation has risen rapidly, and feminist criticism has done much to show that she was speaking up for the oppressed women of every age.
