I feel sorry for Jane Austen. People only perceived her works after she died. If the misogyny and the sex discrimination of religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism) in the 19th century that recognized the equality of woman. I think that our humanity don't have to struggle the quest of equality today. The women have been oppressed in thought, action and human rights by those in power believe in the ridiculous of biblical.
@Ikra Rehman, Is it true that men can have 4 wives, but women can't have 4 husbands in Islam? Is it true your testimony is worth only half as much as a man's in Sharia law? Is it true Aisha said she had never seen anyone suffer as much as the believing woman? Is it true a man will have 72 houris in paradise, but you will not? We can check the Quran and the hadith together if you like.
@@makeawishtheresastar5 How is it "Islamophic" to point out what the Quran says? It is the Quran that says Muslim men can have up to 4 wives, not me. I am just repeating it, telling you what the Quran says. It is not "Islamophobic" to quote the hadith and the Quran.
The novels of Jane Austen were in fact written by Jane's sophisticated and educated cousin, Eliza de Feuillide. Eliza could not publish under her own name because she was the illegitimate daughter of Warren Hastings, the Governor General of India. To publish under her own name would have caused a scandal. Eliza had a fascinating life, completely different from the dull life of Jane Austen. She was born in Calcutta in India and given £10,000 by Warren Hastings to pay for her literary and musical education in London. She married a French count who was executed in the French Revolution. She spoke perfect French and played the piano, harp and harpsichord. Her second husband was Jane Austen's brother, Henry. They lived together in London and frequently visited the opera and theatre. Eliza acted in amateur theatricals similar to those in Mansfield Park and she was an accomplished amateur comedian. To find out about the fascinating life of Eliza and how the events in her life inspired each of the novels you can read my book "Jane Austen - a New Revelation".
Nicholas Ennos Nicholas you are putti g forward a conspiracy theory that her letters prove untrue. Go and read the letters in which she references her books.
Jane Austen's letter dated 31 January 1813 sets out the prices that are to be charged for all of the novels, which shows that they had all been completed by this date (Eliza de Feuillide died in 1813 whereas Jane Austen lived until 1817). The completed novels were then published at roughly one yearly intervals after 1813. This letter describes one novel as the stupidest (i.e. dullest) of all. This was no doubt Persuasion which was the last to be published for this reason.
You cannot be serious. Who told you that- Q anon? Recognition and recompence denied by the norms of Regency England, a life cut short by illness and now 2 bit conspiracy theorists. FFS

Let's call a spade a spade: women in Judaism and Christianity are doing fine. Only one religion calls you back to the seventh century.
@@bowrudder899 yes you're right, but you forget we're not allowed to talk about that.
