Despite their family's stormy fortunes, the Brontë sisters - Charlotte, Emily, and Anne - resolved to write. To thwart the nineteenth century's double standards, they took the name s of men, becoming the Bell brothers. Their works incited controversy and speculation, while at home, the sisters contended with the rages of Branwell Brontë, their self-destructive sibling.
