“To call Austen ‘the first great woman writer in English,’ really, is to call her the first British woman accepted in the Western canon.”

This book is right up my alley, and I’m only in the introduction. Calling out the powerful, male “experts” who only include other males in the canons of history. Excited to learn about all the women who influenced Austen.
