Bronte sisters

In her teen years, Anne briefly moved away from home to attend a boarding school, and at the age of nineteen, she started working as a governess. She worked as a young governess for several years, and her first book, Agnes Grey, is based on her experiences in this field. The protagonist's tale emphasises the long hours, meagre pay, and cumulative humiliations that characterised one of the only professions available to women.
