Here's what we know:
* She was a beautiful and proud woman. Miss Havisham describes her as "the loveliest creature I had ever beheld."
* She was abandoned by her fiancé, Estella's father. This event deeply affected Miss Havisham and led to her bitterness and desire to "break hearts" like hers was broken.
* She had a tragic and possibly violent end. Miss Havisham mentions that Estella's mother "died young" and "died in childbirth," suggesting she may have died during Estella's birth.
