  Calamity Jane was an icon of the Wild West, and she lived her life just as free and wild as the Wild West stage shows she later performed in. Part of this wildness was not by choice but born of necessity. Her parents both passed when she was a young girl, forcing her to find a way to make it on her own. It was during this struggle for survival that she first embraced a free and unfettered lifestyle, learning to ride, shoot, and fend for herself in ways that would have been considered scandalous for women of her era. She wore men's clothing, took jobs traditionally reserved for men, and moved through the rough mining camps and frontier towns with a boldness that both fascinated and shocked those around her. She was later accused of defying social norms, but she had learned early in life that the hand she was dealt didn't exactly allow for such lofty considerations. 
  As such, Calamity Jane lived by her own rules and simply did what she had to do to survive, whether that meant working as a scout, a cook, a nurse during smallpox epidemics, or eventually as a performer who brought her own colorful version of the West to captivated audiences. This is her life and this is her story.

  “Only Jane Austen did it and Emily Brontë. ... 
   
  “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” ... 
   
  “Do I want to live?.. Would you like to live with your soul in the grave?” 
   
  Emily Brontë (1818-1848) is best known for her only novel, "Wuthering Heights." She was born in Yorkshire, northern England, where her father was an Anglican curate. When Brontë was three years old her mother died of cancer. At the age of six, she joined her three sisters briefly at the Clergy Daughters' School, where privations and abuse contributed to the deaths of two of them. Her elder sister, Charlotte, immortalized this terrible place in "Jane Eyre." In 1846 Emily Brontë, under the pseudonym, Ellis Bell published a selection of her poetry. In 1847 appeared her dark, gothic novel, "Wuthering Heights," with its Byronic anti-hero, Heathcliff. Brontë was shy, even reclusive, and never married. In the fall of 1848, she fell ill with inflammation of the lungs, probably due to rapidly-progressive tuberculosis, and died in December of that year, aged twenty-nine. This is a short biography of Brontë written by the British poet, novelist, and critic, Agnes Mary Frances Robinson
