One of the Brontë sisters (9)
I believe the answer is:
charlotte
'one of the bronte sisters' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for charlotte that I've seen before include ". . . . . . . . . Bronte wrote ''Jane Eyre''" , "Victorian novelist" , "Pudding; girl" , "Fruit dish" , "Dessert" .)
