Anne Brontë was the youngest of the Brontë literary family, known for her realistic writing style that differed from her sisters' romanticism.
She published two novels, Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, the latter becoming a controversial success due to its frank portrayal of alcoholism and women's rights.
Anne worked as a governess before pursuing her literary ambitions, collaborating with her sisters on a poetry volume.
Despite her talent, she remained less known than Charlotte and Emily, partly due to Charlotte preventing the re-publication of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall after Anne's death.
Anne's life was marked by close companionship with Emily and a determination to present truth in literature, even when it challenged societal norms.
