To avoid prejudice against female writers, the Brontë sisters adopted different first names. It was the discovery of Emily’s talent for poetry by her sister Charlotte that led her and her sisters to publish a collection of their poetry in the year 1846, called Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Little of Emily’s work from this period of her life have survived, except for a small number of poems.

She was the younger sister of Charlotte Brontë and the fifth of six children. A painting of Emily by her brother Branwell.īorn in Thornton, West Yorskhire.
