PRESENTATION OUTLINE
“This which is the age of so many things – of enlightenment -of science, of progress-is quite as distinctly the age of female novelists... The vexed questions of social morality, the grand problems of human experience, are seldom so summarily discussed and settled as in the novels of this day which are written by women”
-Margaret Oliphant, novelist, 1855

“What unites feminist and anti-feminist writing of the Victorian period is its central concern with questions of femininity, each side laying claim to an ‘authentic’ as opposed to the other camp's ‘artificial’, flawed, corrupted or un-sexed femininity,” (Heilmann Ann & Sanders Valerie, 2006).

“Austen subtly reveals the flaws in the culture, particularly in the lives of women and perhaps intentionally draws the attention of her audience to these issues without harsh or zealous dogma,” (Emano, C. T., 2000).
