ANNE BRONTE

Anne Brontë (1820-1849) hailed from an English literary family responsible for some of the medium's most memorable works. She was the youngest of six children that included sisters, Charlotte and Emily. Their father was a clergyman, who raied them in a parish with very little money. As an adult, Anne took a position as a governess to financially support herself but found the position difficult and unfulfilling. In 1846, she and her sisters published a collection of poetry called Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, which marked a humble beginning to a short yet impactful career.
