Currer Bell was the pen name used by the famous English novelist Charlotte Brontë. She was born on April 21, 1816, in Thornton, England, and is best known for her novel Jane Eyre, published in 1847. Under the pseudonym, she sought to navigate the male-dominated literary world of her time. The use of the name "Currer Bell" allowed Charlotte and her sisters, who also wrote under male pseudonyms, to publish their works without facing gender bias. The Brontë sisters, including Emily Brontë and Anne Brontë, gained recognition for their contributions to literature, with each creating distinct and impactful stories.
