Charlotte Bronte was born at Thornton, in Yorkshire England, the third of six children.

B. Historical Background
The early years of the Victorian Age was a time of rapid economic development. England developed into a rich, advanced industrial country; however, there were many social problems, for instance the sharpest contrast between the rich and the poor and rigid social hierarchy. In this period, women were still regarded as second-class hierarchy. However some outstanding women appeared, such as famous women writers Bronte sisters. They were great English realists of the time. They created pictures of bourgeois civilization, showing the misery and suffering of the common people. Although capitalist has appeared, old convention and prejudice remained dominant. Women were still regarded as the second-class hierarchy. At this time, women were employed as cheap labor and were forced to do very hard jobs, and they did not get the vote until 1918. So in the late period of Victorian Age, a feminist movement started fighting for women’s equality and freedom, and for their educational and employment opportunities. Petitions to parliament advocating women’s suffrage were introduced as early as in the 1840.
