A quote

Hi,
I've just read this quote about the famous novel ''Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte:

"A love story every woman would die a thousand deaths to live."Tagline for Jane Eyre (1944)

However I don't understand very well what it means. Could you please clarify for me?
Many thanks,
Nessie

I think that expresses a probability that every woman is likely to die thousand times just to live the life of Jane Eyre. Women would rather die many times so that they (women) will be able to feel the power of love and feel the same as Jane felt.
