Sun. March 26 at 9pm on WKAR-HD 23.1 | Learn how, against all odds, the Brontes were recognized in a male-dominated 19th-century world.

Ever since they were revealed to the world as quaint country-women and not the notorious Bell brothers of their pseudonyms, the Brontë sisters have fascinated legions of devoted readers. MASTERPIECE brings these remarkable literary geniuses to life with a beautifully filmed and acted two-hour drama, To Walk Invisible: The Brontë Sisters
