She is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language and is known for her insightful social commentary and realistic portrayals of life in Georgian England. Austen's most famous novels, including \u003cem\u003ePride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eEmma\u003c\/em\u003e, continue to be popular today and have been adapted into numerous films, television shows, and stage productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAusten's writing is characterized by her sharp wit, clever dialogue, and keen observations of human behaviour. Her novels often explore the lives of women in a society where marriage and social status were of great importance, and her heroines are strong and independent women who challenge the social norms of their time. Austen's work has had a lasting impact on literature and continues to be studied and enjoyed by readers around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the publisher:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEmma\u003cbr\u003e“It’s such a happiness when good people get together.” Rich and confident Emma is perfectly happy with her life the way it is. That doesn’t stop her from enjoying a good love story though – as long as it’s not her own. But as she blunders through a scheme to find a suitable husband for her new friend Harriet, Emma begins to realise that her judgement is not as good as she thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMansfield Park\u003cbr\u003e“It ought not to be set down as certain that a man must be acceptable to every woman he may happen to like himself.” Taken in by rich relatives, quiet and sensitive Fanny never feels she is a part of the grand surroundings of Mansfield Park. Her cousin, Edmund, is the only person who pays her any attention. But when the sophisticated Crawford's move into the neighbourhood, even Edmund falls under their spell, and Fanny finds herself more alone than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSense and Sensibility\u003cbr\u003e“Know your own happiness. You want nothing but patience, or give it a more fascinating name – call it hope.” Marianne and Elinor Dashwood are complete opposites: Marianne is as open to love as Elinor is guarded and sensible. But what are sisters for if not to support each other? As they struggle through love and loss together, the sisters learn that it’s best to mix sense with sensibility to find happiness in a society where status is king.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePride and Prejudice\u003cbr\u003e“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” When two wealthy gentlemen move into town, Mrs Bennet is delighted. Elizabeth, on the other hand, is determined to resist her mother’s ambition to marry her off to the richest match she can find. First impressions can be misleading though, and the Bennet sisters soon realise that the pursuit of true love is rarely simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorthanger Abbey\u003cbr\u003e“If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.” Catherine Morland longs to be as interesting as the gothic heroines she reads about in novels. When she is invited on her first trip away from home, she leaps at the chance.

'Young women who have no economic or political power must attend to the serious business of contriving material security'. Jane Austen's sardonic humour lays bare the stratagems, the hypocrisy and the poignancy inherent in the struggle of two very different sisters to achieve respectability. Sense and Sensibility is a delightful comedy of manners in which the sisters Elinor and Marianne represent these two qualities. Elinor's character is one of Augustan detachment, while Marianne, a fervent disciple of the Romantic Age, learns to curb her passionate nature in the interests of survival. This book, the first of Austen's novels to be published, remains as fresh a cautionary tale today as it ever was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePride and Prejudice: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction and Notes by Dr Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex. Pride and Prejudice, which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners. In it the garrulous and empty-headed Mrs Bennet has only one aim - that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters. In this she is mocked by her cynical and indolent husband. With its wit, its social precision and, above all, its irresistible heroine, Pride and Prejudice has proved one of the most enduringly popular novels in the English language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePersuasion: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction and Notes by Elaine Jordan, Reader in Literature, University of Essex. What does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to think something else? Anne Elliot is one of Austen's quietest heroines, but also one of the strongest and the most open to change. She lives at the time of the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new fortunes and alliances. A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her long-time love Captain Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly thirty, well past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNorthanger Abbey: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction and Notes by David Blair, University of Kent. Northanger Abbey tells the story of a young girl, Catherine Morland who leaves her sheltered, rural home to enter the busy, sophisticated world of Bath in the late 1790s. Austen observes with insight and humour the interaction between Catherine and the various characters whom she meets there, and tracks her growing understanding of the world about her. In this, her first full-length novel, Austen also fixes her sharp, ironic gaze on other kinds of contemporary novel, especially the Gothic school made famous by Ann Radcliffe. Catherine's reading becomes intertwined with her social and romantic adventures, adding to the uncertainties and embarrassments she must undergo before finding happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMansfield Park: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction and Notes by Dr Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex. Adultery is not a typical Jane Austen theme, but when it disturbs the relatively peaceful household at Mansfield Park, it has quite unexpected results. The diffident and much put-upon heroine Fanny Price has to struggle to cope with the results, re-examining her own feelings while enduring the cheerful amorality, old-fashioned indifference and priggish disapproval of those around her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLady Susan and Other Works: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWith an Introduction, explanatory notes, and annotated bibliography by Nicholas Seager. This collection brings together Jane Austen's earliest experiments in the art of fiction and novels that she left incomplete at the time of her premature death in 1817. Her fragmentary juvenilia show Austen developing her own sense of narrative form whilst parodying popular kinds of fiction of her day. Lady Susan is a wickedly funny epistolary novel about a captivating but unscrupulous widow seeking to snare husbands for her daughter and herself. The Watsons explores themes of family relationships, the marriage market, and attitudes to rank, which became the hallmarks of her major novels. In Sanditon, Austen exercises her acute powers of social observation in the setting of a newly fashionable seaside resort. These novels are here joined by shorter fictions that survive in Austen's manuscripts, including critically acclaimed works like Catharine, Love and Freindship [sic], and The History of England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmma: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWith an Introduction and Notes by Dr Nicola Bradbury, University of Reading. Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a 'heroine whom no one but myself will much like', but Emma is irresistible. 'Handsome, clever, and rich', Emma is also an 'imaginist', 'on fire with speculation and foresight'. She sees the signs of romance all around her, but thinks she will never be married. Her matchmaking maps out relationships that Jane Austen ironically tweaks into a clearer perspective. Judgement and imagination are matched in games the reader too can enjoy, and the end is a triumph of understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9781840227482\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wordsworth Editions Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32821126201443,"sku":"B2D2935","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/6874\/1219\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-1.jpg?v=1633753176"},{"product_id":"9780141199078","title":"Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen","description":"The Penguin English Library Edition of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen'No sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes ...'When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind.

But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

A smart, funny, gorgeous retelling starring all characters of color. Zuri Benitez has pride. Brooklyn pride, family pride, and pride in her Afro-Latino roots. But pride might not be enough to save her rapidly gentrifying neighborhood from becoming unrecognizable. When the wealthy Darcy family moves in across the street, Zuri wants nothing to do with their two teenage sons, even as her older sister, Janae, starts to fall for the charming Ainsley. She especially can't stand the judgmental and arrogant Darius. Yet as Zuri and Darius are forced to find common ground, their initial dislike shifts into an unexpected understanding.   But with four wild sisters pulling her in different directions, cute boy Warren vying for her attention, and college applications hovering on the horizon, Zuri fights to find her place in Bushwick's changing landscape, or lose it all.

As her female cousins vie for Henry's attention, and even Edmund falls for Mary's dazzling charms, only Fanny remains doubtful about the Crawfords' influence and finds herself more isolated than ever.

In thirteen concise chapters, hooks examines her own search for emotional connection and society's failure to provide a model for learning to love.

Professor Kathleen Stock surveys the philosophical ideas that led to this point, and closely interrogates each one, from De Beauvoir's statement that, 'One is not born, but rather becomes a woman' (an assertion she contends has been misinterpreted and repurposed), to Judith Butler's claim that language creates biological reality, rather than describing it. She looks at biological sex in a range of important contexts, including women-only spaces and resources, healthcare, epidemiology, political organization and data collection. Material Girls makes a clear, humane and feminist case for our retaining the ability to discuss reality, and concludes with a positive vision for the future, in which trans rights activists and feminists can collaborate to achieve some of their political aims.; 320 pages; Published: 07\/04\/2022\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9780349726625\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41510342394035,"sku":"9780349726625","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/6874\/1219\/products\/9780349726625.jpg?v=1652560406"},{"product_id":"9780571081783","title":"The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath","description":"A modern classic.'

Working as an intern for a New York fashion magazine in the summer of 1953, Esther Greenwood is on the brink of her future.

Jaspreet Kaur unpacks key issues such as the media, the workplace, the home, education, mental health, culture, confidence and the body, to help South Asian women understand and tackle the issues that affect them, and help them be in the driving seat of their own lives. Jaspreet pulls no punches, tackling difficult topics from mental health and menstruation stigma to education and beauty standards, from feminism to cultural appropriation and microaggressions. She also addresses complex issues, such as how to manage being a brown feminist without rejecting your own culture, and why Asian girls - the second highest performing group of students in the country - aren't seen in larger numbers in universities and head offices. Interviews with brilliant South Asian Women of all walks of life as well as academic insight show what life is really like for brown women in the diaspora.

Kate has cared in turn for her father and mother, and for Granny Rosie, her 90-year-old mother-in-law. Along the way she has experienced the joys, challenges and frustrations shared by an invisible army of carers. At the heart of this care lie everyday acts of love, and the realisation that, sooner or later, most of us will come to rely on an extra pair of hands. ----- 'Lifts the spirits without pulling punches' IAN RANKIN 'Irresistible' RACHEL JOYCE 'Questions how and why we fetishise independence when the reality of human experience is always interdependence' GUARDIAN, BOOK OF THE DAY 'Heartfelt, funny and at times heartbreaking. 10\/10' INDEPENDENT 'Utterly beautiful' FRANCESCA SEGAL; 208 pages, b\/w integrated; Published: 24\/03\/2022\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9781788162623\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Profile Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41513341190323,"sku":"9781788162623","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/6874\/1219\/products\/9781788162623.jpg?v=1652546977"},{"product_id":"9781846041099","title":"Women Who Run With The Wolves: Contacting the Power of the Wild Woman by Clarissa Pinkola Estes","description":"Chosen by Emma Watson for her feminist book club 'Our Shared Shelf''Women Who Run With The Wolves is a gift of profound insight, wisdom and love. An oracle from one who knows' Alice WalkerIn the classic Women Who Run With The Wolves, Clarissa Pinkola Estes tells us about the 'wild woman', the wise and ageless presence in the female psyche that gives women their creativity, energy and power. For centuries, the 'wild woman' has been repressed by a male-orientated value system which trivialises women's emotions. Using a combination of time-honoured stories and contemporary casework, Estes reveals that the 'wild woman' in us is innately healthy, passionate and wise. Thoughtfully written and compelling in its arguments, Women Who Run With The Wolves gives readers a new sense of direction, a self confidence and purpose in their lives.; 560 pages; Published: 07\/02\/2008\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9781846041099\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ebury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41513963847859,"sku":"9781846041099","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/6874\/1219\/products\/9781846041099.jpg?v=1652547059"},{"product_id":"maddaddam-trilogy-3-book-set-by-margaret-atwood-ages-paperback","title":"Maddaddam Trilogy By Margaret Atwood 3 Books Collection Set - Fiction - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitles In This Set:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. Oryx And Crake\u003cbr\u003e2. The Year Of The Flood \u003cbr\u003e3. MaddAddam\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOryx And Crake\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePigs might not fly but they are strangely altered.

In 'A Private Experience', a medical student hides from a violent riot with a poor Muslim woman whose dignity and faith force her to confront the realities and fears she's been pushing away.             In 'Tomorrow Is Too Far', a woman unlocks the devastating secret that surrounds her brother's death.             The young mother at the centre of 'Imitation' finds her comfortable life threatened when she learns that her husband back in Lagos has moved his mistress into their home.             And the title story depicts the choking loneliness of a Nigerian girl who moves to an America that turns out to be nothing like the country she expected; though falling in love brings her desires nearly within reach, a death in her homeland forces her to re-examine them.             Searing and profound, suffused with beauty, sorrow and longing, this collection is a resounding confirmation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's prodigious storytelling powers.;  400 pages,  (600 integrated b\/w line drawings); Published: 02\/04\/2001\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9780007306213\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42214257426611,"sku":"9780007306213","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/6874\/1219\/products\/9780007306213.jpg?v=1669822359"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.books2door.com\/collections\/feminism-and-feminist-theory\/age_7-9.oembed","provider":"Books2Door","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
