Who were Charlotte Bronte Emily Bronte George Sand and Harriet Beecher?

Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë, George Sand and Harriet Beecher are all female novelists of the nineteenth Century. Charlotte, Anne and Emily Brontë were English sisters, at the time their pseudonyms were Currer, Acton and Ellis Bell respectively. Charlotte's most famous novel is probably Jane Eyre (1847), which charts the unfortunate life of the protagonist, her steely will and the way in which she overcomes adversity, and of course it is also the tale of the madwoman in the attic, an idea seized upon by Jean Rhys and novelised in The Wide Sargasso Sea. Emily's most famous novel is probably Wuthering Heights (also 1847), which was very controversial and attracted much critical attention, most of which was negative. The novel is in two halves almost, but it is the first that is most famous, is a tale of the passionate and ultimately destructive love of Cathy and Heathcliff, violent and cruel, mirrored in the moorland in which it is set, but it remains one of the great love stories of the nineteenth century. Anne's most famous novel would be The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848) about a mysterious woman and an ensuing, and complex romance. George Sand is actually Amandine Aurore Lucile Dupin, the Baronne Dudevant, a French author an unorthodox woman and something of a feminist sporting men's clothing and smoking in public, she had many critics including Baudelaire, and also had a relationship with the composer, Chopin, and wrote A Winter in Majorca (1839) about her holiday there with him. Harriet Beecher was an American authoress, most famous for her abolitionist writings and her first novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), which was a clear indictment of slavery, she also petioned Lincoln himself to speed the release of the slaves and was outspoken on the American Civil War, arguing it to be God's Will that both the North and South of America deserved to suffer for the suffering they inflicted upon slaves. Though of these authors her writing is considered the weakest, lacking the style and finesse of the others, she is perhaps the most socially revolutionary of them all, and it could be argued that Uncle Tom's Cabin had the largest impact upon its contemporary society.
