La misteriosa Helen Graham se instala con su hijo en la mansión de Wildfell Hall y desencadena todo tipo de rumores entre sus vecinos. Tras liberarse de un esposo alcohólico y pendenciero, Helen se enfrenta ahora a una sociedad opresora, pero sale adelante gracias a su buen juicio y su sentido del deber. La búsqueda de la felicidad y de la justicia por parte de su protagonista convierte La inquilina de Wildfell Hall, la segunda (y última) novela de Anne, la menor de las hermanas Brontë, en un lúcido retrato de las miserias humanas, una hermosa novela de amor, un canto a la redención y un ilustre precedente de la literatura feminista.
