Now, I don't know if her essay's are available on line, or if they are only available in hard copy; but irrespective I would suggest that those of you who view her has a great daughter of the town try and take a long hard look at what she has written and I have no doubt you will then revise your opinion.

Haworth has the Brontes.

Accrington has Sapphic Jen.

Perhaps a whole tourist industry might spring up because of the association, and you could move back, dress up as one of her characters, and lead the masses on walking tours of notable literary sites.
