Maria Brontë, the mother of the Brontë sisters, died of cancer in 1821 when her daughters were very young. Elizabeth Brontë, known as Lizzy, passed away from tuberculosis in 1825 at the age of 10. Both illnesses were common in the 19th century and significantly impacted the lives and writings of the surviving Brontë sisters, Charlotte and Emily.
