Charlotte Brontë was an English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters whose words became classics of English literature. Charlotte Brontë was born in Thornton, Yorkshire, United Kingdom, and she was the daughter of Patrick Brontë, an Irish clergyman, who was also a writer. She became pregnant shortly after her marriage in June 1854, but died on 31 March 1855, almost certainly from hyperemesis gravidarum, a complication of pregnancy that causes excessive nausea and vomiting.

Jane Eyre is a book that I have enjoyed reading. It´s an inspiring and emotional book. I love the feminist character of Jane Eyre despite the age of the novel. (1847) Jane fights for her independence, dignity and freedom. In addition to the love story, that also adds emotion to the book.
