AnswerEmily Dickinson is famous for her poetry and her prolific writing, but during her lifetime she was more famous for the fact that she rarely, if ever, left her house. During her lifetime she wrote over 1700 poems, however, that are incredibly profound, but few were published in her lifetime; a relative discovered them after her death.

Emily Dickinson was very important. She served as inspiration to poets for generations to come. She was also one of America's early female poets.

When she was alive, Emily Dickinson was not that popular. Her writing was not well known. She was quite certain that she would be famous for her writing after death.
