Writers’ Residences: Literature Lives Here

7. Brontë Sisters – Haworth, England
The Brontë Sisters were prolific writers from England. Charlotte, Emily, and Anne started writing from a young age. It’s important to note that they had to be published with male pseudonyms (Currer, Ellis, and Acton), as women were seen as less competent at the time.
Their isolation in Haworth, their struggles to make a living as undervalued governesses, and the rigid Victorian class system deeply influenced their writing style. Their novels all feature strong female characters who stand up for their rights. The moors around Haworth inspired Emily to write Wuthering Heights.
