The remarkable writer reflects on her extraordinary family, unconventional education, and the life-changing experience in Brussels that inspired her most recent novel. Learn about the difficulties and unexpected opportunities that literary fame has brought about in Charlotte's life as she shares the hardships faced by single women who attempt to make a living and, possibly, a name for themselves as authors. See how she and her remarkable sisters strove to rise above these barriers.
