Fascinating Women Who Posed as Men to Do a ‘Man’s Job’

Anne Brontë 

Along with her sisters, Anne Brontë also wrote under a male pseudonym, Acton Bell. Although the Brontë sister saw the necessity of using a male name in order to progress in her career, her writings always remained true to her belief in issues of misogyny. Her last novel published in 1848, “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall” is considered one of the first feminist novels.
