Which Brontë sister wrote 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall'?

The Brontë sister who wrote The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was Anne Brontë. It was her second and final novel, first published in 1848 under the pen name Acton Bell.

The novel follows Helen Graham, a mysterious woman who moves into Wildfell Hall with her young son. Through letters and diary entries, the story reveals that she has left an abusive, alcoholic husband and is trying to protect her child. Helen’s decision to leave and support herself through art challenged the legal and social expectations placed on married women in early Victorian England.

The book is often regarded as one of the earliest feminist novels and is notably more realistic and socially confrontational than many contemporary works. Readers sometimes confuse Anne with Charlotte or Emily because all three sisters published novels under male pseudonyms. Charlotte wrote Jane Eyre, Emily wrote Wuthering Heights, and Anne wrote both The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Agnes Grey.
