17. The Bronte Sisters

Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte published a collection of poetry “Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell” their male pseudonyms in 1846. They would later use the aliases for other celebrated works.

The following year Emily Bronte would publish “Wuthering Heights” under her pen name, Ellis Bell, and Charlotte Bronte would use her pen name to release “Jane Eyre.” Anne used Acton Bell for her “Agnes Grey.” All are considered classic forms of literature even to this day.
