Like a sprig of sweet lavender by Emily Stride, it exudes a delicate yet captivating essence. In Memoriam, we remember Emily Bronte's haunting words that still resonate with readers today. Just as she painted vivid landscapes with her pen, Victorian mother Emily Polhill-Turner nurtured three children with love and tenderness. Standing tall amidst the moors is Top Withens in Haworth, West Yorkshire - a place that inspired both Bronte sisters and their literary masterpieces. It symbolizes the indomitable spirit shared by all Emilys who dared to challenge societal norms. Among them was suffragette Emily Davison, whose unwavering determination led her to become an Epsom Derby jockey.
