Jane Eyre is the story of a small, plain-faced, intelligent, and passionate English orphan. Jane is abused by her aunt and cousin and then attends a harsh charity school. Through it all she remains strong and determinedly refuses to allow a cruel world to crush her independence or her strength of will. A masterful story of a woman's quest for freedom and love. Jane Eyre is partly autobiographical, and Charlotte Brontë filled it with social criticism and sinister Gothic elements. A must read for anyone wishing to celebrate the indomitable strength of will or encourage it in their growing children.

Charlotte Brontë (1816–55) was an English novelist and poet, and the eldest of the world-famous Brontë sisters whose novels are considered classics in nineteenth century fiction. Their works still intrigue fans today, more than 150 years after they were first published. Charlotte left school at age 14 to tutor her sisters, Emily and Anne, and the sisters later turned to writing when they were unsuccessful in opening a school. Charlotte’s first novel The Professor (1857) was at first rejected, but her second novel Jane Eyre was published in 1847 to great success. By 1848 the sisters had renounced their pseudonyms and became celebrated in literary circles for their gripping novels.
