Charlotte was born to an Irish family of four girls and a boy.
Their mother died when they were very young (the eldest was only eight), hence, their clerical father handled parenthood on his own.
The kids grew up on Calvinist precepts as taught to them by their father.
They played no games, rather, they were indoctrinated, early on, about the responsibilities in life and melancholy.
When it was time to be educated, their father's sister, Aunt Branwell, helped.
Once a week, though, they had oral tests administered by their strict father.
"What is the best book in the whole world?" asked Reverend Patrick Brontë.
"The Bible as well as nature, Papa," Charlottë would reply.
The two oldest kids passed because of poor nutrition and a rather bleak life.
Charlottë was then the eldest.
At around 1842 to 1844, Charlottë continued her studies in Belgium and there fell for her professor.
He opened up a whole new world to her that was filled with art, philosophy and science.
Charlotttë also saw a different dimension in human experience because of Professor Heger.
Do not be too quick to think of this as a picture-perfect union for it was not.
Professor Heger was already married during that time, and had five children.
He was Charlottë's exact opposite when it came to her age yet it is understandable that the young girl was enamored by his uncouth yet intellectual ways.
In 1846, she and her sisters Anne and Emily published a book of poems (anonymously, of course).
By 1847, Jane Eyre was published.
This mirrored her views of the society, womanhood, and her fondest wish of morality and correctness.
Here, the character does not yield to temptation as she refuses to become Rochester's mistress.
"I will prove that they are wrong.
I will show you a heroine as plain and small as myself," said she as the world ridiculed the unconventional love story she penned.
Within a fortnight of the book's publication, people rushed to the tea halls and concert halls.
Everyone wondered who Currer Bell was, a new sensational author who wrote with such fervor.
Nobody guessed that it was a woman's novel.
Charlottë married Arthur Bell Nichols in 1854 and eventually died in pregnancy in 1855.
In honor to this exceptionally brave woman author, I write her exact words -- "Though earth and moon were gone And suns and universes cease to be, And Thou were left alone, Every existence would exist in Thee.
