Jane Austen gives women an opportunity to be alive again, in the sense that when life takes over, many forget who we were before. We may regret from what could have been, is, or was. We romanticize about how we feel if we were young, ready to embrace emotions as if for the first time. Ms. Austen masterfully gives us a sense as to what it would have been like to live in her world but allows us to escape the hardships which isn't as different as it is now. I believe that she was a person with a beautiful heart who fully embraced the talent God gave to her. She put minds at ease. She made hearts flutter. She emboldened the brave. She spoke truth.
