13 Successful First Novels by Female Writers

Published in 1847, the classic English literature Wuthering Heights was Emily Brontë's first and only novel. While she had allegedly been working on a second novel, the manuscript had never been found, and Emily was only 30 when she died of tuberculosis. Wuthering Heights has since been adapted in many forms including film, radio, TV shows, musical, ballet, opera, and more. The latest film adaption came out last month.
