Anne Brontë was the author of two classic novels: Agnes Grey, published in 1847 and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, published in 1848. Both of these novels highlight the difficulties women experienced in a patriarchal society, where they had few rights and even fewer options for support. Anne Brontë was a morally conscious individual and her final novel is considered one of the first sustained feminist novels. It seemed only fitting to name our Women’s Community Shelters charity collection after this gifted author.
