Maria Branwell Brontë was 38 when she died in 1821 of ovarian cancer (or, it's been suggested, of a post-natal infection), leaving her husband, Patrick Brontë, and their six young children behind. Charlotte Brontë was just 5 years old when her mother passed away.

Though much of her life was marked by tragedy, she wrote novels and poems that found great success in her lifetime and are still popular nearly 200 years later. Charlotte Brontë was born in England to an Irish father and Cornish mother on April 21, 1816.
