Of mice and Women
I’m starting with Jane Austen of the 18th century. Jane was one of the most historic female novelists in the world. Jane was quite an early time feminist, as her work made women the central figure of her stories. You might know her by her famous literary novel, Pride and Prejudice, and Mansfield Park that continues to influence English literature today. What makes the British novelist an important figure in the history amongst many scholars is the irony and realism of her work. I am always inspired when reading vintage literature, getting acquainted with the mind of an empowering woman of a different age. The era before cellphones and transportation. Letters and face to face intimacy is what life consisted of back in this day and Jane was a well known icon of her time.
