Here's a breakdown:
* Charlotte Brontë: She worked as a governess for several years, a common profession for women of her time. She also briefly ran a boarding school with her sisters, which was ultimately unsuccessful.
* Emily Brontë: She mostly remained at home with her family, focusing on her writing. She did briefly work as a teacher for a few months before becoming a governess.
* Anne Brontë: Similar to Emily, she primarily stayed at home and focused on her writing. She also worked as a governess for a short time.
It's important to note that all three sisters published their works under male pseudonyms (Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell) to gain recognition in a literary world dominated by men. They each achieved literary success during their short lifetimes, but their true identities were only revealed after their deaths.
