To Walk Invisible depicts the life of the Bronte sisters and how their literature creations came about. Aside from writing literature, the Bronte sisters resided in Yorkshire with their father and brother, Branwell. Branwell did not seem to care about his future. He had an affair with his employer’s wife and slowly becomes an alcoholic and is bedridden under the care of his sisters. “When a man writes something, it’s what he’s written that’s judged. When a woman writes something, it’s her that’s judged.” (PBS) Charlotte told Anne the reply she had received after sending out her works to be published. She was denied and given negative feedback not because her literature was bad, but because she was a woman. They told her that literature was not a place for woman. Although it appears that writing gave Charlotte life, she also feared it. The reality was that in the nineteenth century, a woman could not publish any of her works, thus made Charlotte feel hopeless. While it is understandable that in the era, there were many gender discriminations taking place, that scene aggravated me the most.

Under a gender-neutral pseudonyms, the sisters were able to finally have their works published. My favorite scene would most definitely have to be when Charlotte and Anne meet with George Smith and reveals that she is Currer Bell. When he scoffs and is surprised by the reveal that Currer Bell is actually a woman, Charlotte questions him back furiously “What makes you doubt it Mr. Smith? My accent? My gender? My size?” (PBS) Her response was so charismatic. I felt so happy for the sisters now that they were able to reveal their true self.
