In the 1870s, a young woman named Emily rarely left her home, spending most of her time isolated. People assumed she was a depressed loner who had intentionally shut herself from the world for no reason. But when she died, her younger sister discovered nearly 1800 poems hidden in her room, poems that would change literature forever. That woman was Emily Dickinson.
