Jane Austen, perhaps one of the most beloved feminist authors, is embedded in British culture. Despite only publishing six books – under the pseudonym ‘A Lady’, referencing the rarity of female publishers at the time – Austen’s works have inspired well over 100 written, on-screen, and radio adaptations.
Tens of thousands of tourists every year flock to the various locations associated with the life of Austen. And with many special events on offer celebrating the 250th anniversary of her birth this year, this is only expected to increase.
