"I was wowed and moved." (Tracy Chevalier). Anne Bronte is the
forgotten Bronte sister, overshadowed by her older siblings -
virtuous, successful Charlotte, free-spirited Emily and dissolute
Branwell. Tragic, virginal, sweet, stoic, selfless, Anne. The less
talented Bronte, the other Bronte. Or that's what Samantha Ellis, a
life-long Emily and Wuthering Heights devotee, had always thought.
Until, that is, she started questioning that devotion and, in
looking more closely at Emily and Charlotte, found herself
confronted by Anne instead. Take Courage is Samantha's personal,
poignant and surprising journey into the life and work of a woman
sidelined by history. A brave, strongly feminist writer well ahead
of her time - and her more celebrated siblings - and who has much
to teach us today about how to find our way in the world. Praise
for How To Be A Heroine: Any woman with a remotely bookish
childhood will find great pleasure in How to be a
Heroine.Genius...A fantastically inspirational memoir that makes
you want to reread far too many books.
