Brontë Sisterhood
SUMMARY:
Emily, Charlotte and Anne - the Bronte sisters - may be world famous for their written works now but back when they were writing, they had to hide the fact that they were women
With the style of Sister Sledge/TLC/Beyonce
LYRICS:
Our family suffered tragedy when our mum and sisters died
But intellectual curiosity saw us two go worldwide.
We travelled and learned languages, we came back home to teach
But no-one came, our school closed down, we needed a Plan B.
I was secretly writing poetry and Emily was too
And so was I, but we were told it’s not what women do.
Charlotte, Anne and Emily, we’re a writing family
Hey, girls, not forgetting me! Brontë sisterhood.
We pretend we’re men as Acton, Currer, Ellis “Bell” we published
But I’m a man and I write too - that’s true, but your stuff’s rubbish.
Anne wrote about a governess - I stole her plot – not fair!
My governess was Agnes Grey – but more knew mine, Jane Eyre.
My Heathcliff hit the Wuthering Heights; who’s best? Our rows are grim…
(Oh, look, I’ve got some poems out); agreed that it’s not him!
Charlotte, Anne and Emily, we’re the Brontë family
Got all my sisters (and me!) Whoa-oh-oh.
Charlotte, Anne and Emily; writing sisters one two three
(Hello? Can anybody actually hear me?)
Brontë sisterhood.
