Charlotte Charke (née Cibber, also Charlotte Secheverell, aka Charles Brown) was an English actress, playwright, novelist, and autobiographer. She acted on the stage from the age of seventeen in breeches roles, and took to wearing male clothing off the stage as well, performing and being publicly known as "Charles Brown" from 1741, but her later career and writings were conducted under her own name, "Mrs. Charlotte Charke", and identified herself as "daughter" of Colley Cibber. Having suffered a series of failures in her business affairs after working in various jobs commonly associated with men, including valet, sausage maker, farmer, pastry chef and tavern owner, she eventually succeeded as a writer and continued as a novelist and memoirist until her death in 1760.
