    Jane Austen (1775-1817)

    over time, history has seen some fiercely intelligent, powerful women who
    have been there for women’s rights and racial equality and have defined the
    world in some ways. One of these women is Jane Austen. She is remembered for
    being the rule-breakers and showed her male peer what it means to be a role
    model.

    Jane Austen was an English novelist with works of romantic fiction, who first gave
    the novel its distinctly modern character through her treatment of ordinary
    people in everyday life. her realism and biting social commentary cementing her
    historical importance among scholars and critics. She was educated primarily by
    her father and older brothers as well as through her own reading. which helped
    her to develop as a professional writer. In her teenage years, until she was about
    35 years old, she experimented with various literary forms and wrote and
    extensively revised three major novels. she achieved success as a published writer
    from 1811 until 1816, with the release of Sense and Sensibility (1811) which is
    bridge between her more witty work, and her more unusual novels.

    Pride and Prejudice is a novel which was write in 1813. this novel follow the
    turbulent relationship between Elizabeth Bennet, the daughter of a country
    gentleman, and Fitzwilliam Darcy, a rich aristocratic landowner. They must
    overcome the titular sins of pride and prejudice to fall in love and marry. The
    central theme of the novel is basically the consistent search of true love despite
    every obstacle that comes our way.

    Next one is Mansfield Park (1814), which explores ideas of what is valued, charm
    or actual goodness, is it money or what you do with it. A more serious, moral
    book, it’s a slow burner that rewards re-reads. for some it’s her masterpiece, for
    some it’s her odd one out, lacking in the heart and warmth of the others.
    and Emma (1815) which is a comedy of errors full of misunderstandings,
    misguided plans, and a heroine who Austen merrily pokes fun at. It has a fair
    amount in common with Pride and Prejudice, but Emma is a less obviously likable
    heroine than Lizzy, who is somewhat deluded in her matchmaking schemes. But
    this makes for the novel’s real joy; enjoying the incredibly clever way Austen
    contrasts what we know to be true about Emma with how she herself perceives
    her own story.

    Conclusion
    Austen is very pertinent even today. She's writing about people and their
    problems, their dysfunctional families, why, and even if, women should marry,
    she also was writing about money and snobbery and financial dependence of
    women, religion, morality, class. Those issues were relevant then, and they're
    relevant now. She created the characters we see today. All of them put together
    aren't worth one sentence of Austen - it's her stylistic brilliance, not what she's
    writing about that make her unique, that’s why she created these characters so
    brilliantly. Austen's enduring appeal boils down to one thing - her writing. even
    though we think of her as a modest and conservative person, she was a
    revolutionary writer.
