I'm an advocate for free education, no matter who you are. Libraries are a safe space for exactly this reason. Use them to your advantage!

Emily Brontë, another powerful poet from the Victorian era. As a woman from the same time period, I strive to make all women feel seen and heard.
#OTD in 1844.
Emily Brontë writes the poem "A Death-Scene". It was published in 1846 in a book collecting poetry by Brontë and her siblings.

While I was educated within the walls of my own home, I believe that education made me the woman I am today.
“Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.”

Some fond memories arise as I look at these photos, for they are from my place of birth, Coxhoe.
Pictures taken on a frosty walk the limestone links walk at Coxhoe, what used to be the old railway lines.

I fear that if we do not hear the children now, we never will.

Hello Bluesky, I am here to introduce myself. I am Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) and I would like to use this platform to spread my views on what we need to change in the world. I will also share some of my other poetry. Here is a #selfie of what I look like.
