A FEMINIST-oriented book about the Brontë sisters aimed at five to seven-year-olds will be published in winter next year.

The Brontes: The Fantastically Feminist (and Totally True) Story of the Astonishing Authors, written by Anna Doherty, will be released on March 7 in hardback.

The book, billed as an inspiring and empowering book about Charlotte, Emily, Anne and their brother Branwell, is aimed at young fans of the recent bestselling book Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls.

Publisher Wren & Rook describes the “rebelliously radical and incredibly inspiring” sisters as no ordinary children.

A spokesman said: “Growing up on the wild, lonely moors of Yorkshire, they have nothing to entertain them but their imaginations and each other.

“So they invent extraordinary imaginary worlds, full of wars and love stories, soldiers, heroes and villains, ruled over by powerful women.

“As they grow up, the Brontës discover that the real world isn’t such a great place to be a girl. But they are so determined that their voices be heard, they overcome almost unbeatable odds to be bestselling authors.”

Anna, from Scotland, is an author and illustrator who has an MA in Children’s Book Illustration from the Cambridge School of Art.

The 32-page book will cost £12.99 in hardback.
