What was the last name of the sisters when they first published their works?
Bronte
Smith
Jones
Bell
Answer
The Brontë sisters originally published their works under the last name "Bell", as they were reluctant to reveal their true identity as female writers. This was a common practice at the time, as it was believed that women were not capable of writing serious literature. The sisters were able to publish their work under their own names after their success with "Jane Eyre".
