Abstract
Abstract Anne Brontë is generally regarded as the most passive and unadventurous of the Brontë children: 'Dear gentle Anne' (Charlotte), 'nothing, absolutely nothing' (Branwell). This is seriously to misjudge her. Her background and upbringing were markedly different from her sisters, as were her life experiences. Shy, she may have been, but she was keenly observant, well placed to understand life, and she possessed a strong sense of justice. Deprived of the home life she wanted, she became a radical feminist, protesting against the social injustices of education, property laws, men, even of God. Her novels are revolutionary tracts for the times, while her poems are a tribute to her openness and 'truth-telling'. This is the text of the address given at Haworth in 1999 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the death of Anne Brontë.
