Title: Charlotte Brontë
Description: In her time, Charlotte Brontë had to pretend to be a man in order to be published. She even hid her writing from her father. Soon after the publication of Jane Eyre, however, her publisher learned that "he" was a "she," and her father learned that she was a best-selling author. From that time forward, Brontë has been famous as both a feminist voice and a great author. Charlotte Brontë examines how the little girl who wrote fantasies became the great writer of realistic, if Gothic, portrayals of male-female relationships, a writer of such power that she is read worldwide to this day. - Back cover.
